Hi,
I took a sample GMAT on the princeton review and got 700 (Q-51 V-36)
I expect to improve the score, especially in verbal
My GPA is 7.1/10.0
I have been working as a software developer at Microsoft for 2 years now
I don't have any idea which schools are likely to accept my application
Can anybody please help me in narrowing the schools list? To which schools can I apply?
Let me know if you require any other information
Also you can tell me about some areas on which I should focus on in the next 4 months to improve my profile


Thanks

I suggest that you first think through what you want to accomplish post-MBA. Think hard about the geography, the industries you want to focus on, and constraints you have (financial or otherwise). Visit sufficient number of school websites to get a sense of how various schools differentiate amongst themselves. Then, you should seek help in narrowing the schools down. That way, the list of schools will reflect your objectives better.

Hope that helps.
