Hi Linda,

I guess you are asking me that what i want to do after MBA (career plans etc).

I want to specialise in marketing and/or finance. Then I want to join a consultancy firm. In the later part of my career, I would like to start my own enterprise - starting a series of schools in my native state(which is very poor), and develop a sound educational society.
I guess I have answered specifically your answer. If not, please reply!

With the possible exception of Cornell and ISB, I think you are aiming a little high. I think your chances at Kellogg, Stanford, MIT and CBS are slim. Also consider UNC, Indiana, UT, and Emory.

Best,
Linda

LBS and INSEAD -- stretch.

Thanks for the response!

From your responses, I make out that I am competetive for colleges in rank 12-18. Right ?

After some more thoughts, I have selected some schools as given below:

Dream
Harvard, Wharton, Kellogg,

i think I can do it
Duke, NYU, Darden, Cornell,

Safety
UNC(Kenan Flagler) OR Tepper, ISB

Most important: I have to get into some or other B-School in this season.

Hence, please review again and suggest! (Especially on the pragmatic and safe sectors.

(I have applied to HBS because I have always dreamt of going there. Hence, I am going all out for it.)

In my book, UNC and Tepper are in the competitive category for you -- not the safety category. For safeties, consider Indiana as mentioned above. Other possible safety schools: Babson, Purdue, U of Maryland.

Best,
Linda

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
