** Financing the MBA is somewhat a problem for me, thus want to select colgs with trustworthy ROI.

1) Orflae Colg of Business - Cal Poly State University.

2) University to San Diego - School Of Business Administration.

3) University of San Francisco

4) San Diego State University

6) Belk College of Business - Charlotte - North Carolina

Will be waiting for your kind reply.

Thanks & Regards,

What are the chances you can retake the GMAT and get a higher score? Consulting is a brand name game - the higher you can go, the better!

Hi Bhavik,

Thanks for your reply !

But the thing is this was already my second attempt, on my first attempt I had scored a 580 and this time after taking lot of leaves from my office I managed to reach a 620. So I have no hopes of getting a better score. Also my main aim is to get an MBA degree and work in the US, so I would be more than happy to get an MBA from a decent college which helps me to land in job with a decent salary.

If that's the case then the schools you've listed are good options. They fit your profile from a GMAT perspective. From a career perspective - I'd suggest you speak to as many students and alumni with your background as possible to make sure what the school's website says is actually the case. Sometimes the on-the-ground reality is a bit different!
