Ask Stacy Blackman

Hello ,

I am kunal Sharma and i need guidance regarding my profile and which B School i should prefer.

I have completed my B Tech in mechanical engineering from IIT,India which is world renewed and comes in top 10 best engineering collages of india. but My GPA is not very good it is 7.00 out of scale of 10.00 and our class topper had 8.1 out of 10 and my position is 25 out of 55 people. Also as required buy some collages in my last 60 hrs final year study i have 8.52 out of 10 and i topped the class.

I have a work experience of 3 years in core power generation field with reliance energy limited , which is reputed company in india and abroad and i deal with manufacturing and quality departments, which is basically supply chain management thing. i am working directly under Assistant Vice president of my company and looking for High value projects and dealing with our international customer for supplies. i can provide his recommendation as well. i also have 2 year part time work experience.

I have done good projects in my company as well as in other reputed companies in my under graduation and i can arrange good recommendation and professional testimonies. I also have good technical projects and very decent record of extra curricular activities as i served as convenor of technical fest and on the same time i had conducted seminars and work shops on fine art, since it is my hobby and i have huge interest in it, which i believe can add versatility in my profile.

My GMAT score is 720 with equally good performance in QA and VA.

Now my query is with this profile can I expect admission in any good B School in US, UK & Canada with bright future aspirations and some financial assistant? If yes, than for which b schools should i go.(requested not to mention top 5 or 10 , particularly need a range of collages)

a few collages in which i am planning to apply

1. Mays T&M
2. Marriott
3.Howard
4.HEC Montreal
5. Wisconsin Madison
6. Buffalo
7. Cranfield

This is my order of preference, any suggestion or addition in this is heartily welcome! I have heard that there are a few collages which do not prefer student from non US-EU countries or international students particularly Asians( it is just a query, no offence to any body)

i also have time to take GMAT again, so shall i go for it.

I also want to know what measure i can take to improve my chances of admission in my b school since at this stage my GPA can not be improved.

Please provide your extremely valuable suggestions

regards
Kunal Sharma
