Dear rakesheval,

You have solid numbers to be competitive at most schools. It is important to identify schools that are a good match for you--what you want to do post-MBA, what curriculum you are seeking, and have a culture where you feel comfortable. Business school is an expensive proposition and a significant investment in yourself, so be sure to select programs that are worth that investment. Likewise, if you are genuinely excited about a school and can pinpoint why the school is a good match, that will show through in your application making you more attractive to the admissions committee.

Good luck,
Lisa
