Dear Abhi,

Congratulations on your GMAT score! I think you should take the TOEFL as it seems to be accepted by most schools whereas the IELTS is not. Perhaps all of the schools you are considering accept both? If so, I will let others reading post their thoughts on the two tests. As for which programs, you need to pick schools that are a good match for your career goals and are a cultural fit for you. For some tips on how to identify programs that are the right match for you, please visit our sticky on school selection. In terms of scholarships, that will vary greatly by school and how you are viewed by that school as a candidate. The more you are seen as above average and a valuable addition to the class, the more you will be considered for any potential scholarship awards.

Good luck,
Lisa
