Rituraj- while your profile is going to appear pretty average for your applicant pool, you definitely have all the core elements for a run at a good business school. Which school kind of depends on where you want to work after you graduate. If it's back in India, you could do fine with a one year pr...

Travis- MBA programs typically like to see at least two years of professional experience after college, so you are correct that in your case, with 8 years of experience in management at the retail level, you will be unique.

With 10 years of WE and a 700 GMAT, you would have a fairly easy run at admissions for Kellogg's one year program or eMBA program. The full time program is probably within reach, but expect them to drive you towards the other two. Being female is a big plus, since schools are desperate to boost thei...

Ayushman- You have a good profile, but clearly one that is not all that uncommon in your applicant pool. Good GMAT, good work experience, volunteered at NGOs, leadership etc. all seem to be in order and looks much like other Indian applicants with similar profiles. The key is going to be in how well...

I think you have a good handle on your target school categories and don't see why you shouldn't proceed given your profile.
