Hi,
On advice from Sameer from Admission Consultant group, I am putting this post in here. Apologies for putting in a duplicate post, but it seems I had put it in the wrong forum hence didn't get a response for a long time.

I took my GMAT last year second time after scoring 600 the first time. Here are my final stats :
GMAT : 680 (Q48,V34)
Qual : B.E.
Experience : 8+ Years in IT Delivery + Less than a year with a start-up with a very senior role (Market Research, Business Development, Technology Architect, etc.)

With my almost one year experience in a start-up, I am trying to utilize and leverage that experience by getting into the following schools which have a very well set curriculum for entrepreneurship, strategy and general management :

Sloan
Ross
Haas

As Sameer suggested, I am also considering following two schools to avoid stretching of ambitions:
ISB India
Cranfield, UK

I do not want to put in too many applications at this time to just bundle up my applications and throw them without much content.
Please suggest whether the decision with the mentioned score in these schools is worth taking a shot and do I stand a fair chance in competing, considering my profile has a very generic "Indian IT experience" stance in it.

Thanks in advance.

Dheeraj-bhai,

Schools like ISB would be far from a cakewalk. So don't view it as a 'backup' option.

Hope you get inputs from the other experts here.
