Just to add here...if someone sees this Qs ... that I'm more concerned with US based B-schools at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

GMAT Score:780

There's a large range of schools that - at first glance - you should be competitive at.

I think a good place to start is with some questions?
Why do you want an MBA - what are your plans with the degree?
What field do you plan to pursue? What's your personality type?

These questions are a good place to start because the credentials of the school are
not the only important factors to consider. You want to think about what you'll get
out of the school (connections, research opportunities, etc) and what the school culture
is like so that you can really maximize your experience there.

Once you've done that, there are plenty of online resources that will help you filter down
to competitive schools in your GPA/GMAT range - and then you can read about the schools and grads
and narrow your choices down from there

Good luck!

Hi Digvijay,

Hope you are through with GMAT process and working on applications. You should target b-schools like Ohio-Fisher, Maryland-Smith, Georgetown- McDonough, Vanderbilt, Duke, McCombs, Kenan Flagler, Michigan Ross and Darden. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Manish

Take a look at www.find-mba.com/board/27082.

Notre Dame is a stretch, not only because you are below their 710 GMAT but also because it's a very small class. Some of the seats for people with lower GMAT scores go to applicants with Catholic connections. Can you improve your GMAT and then get in an application in the early decision round, on September 9th?

There are better schools with lower GMAT averages: Kellogg; Ross; Fuqua; Johnson; Darden; Tepper; UCLA. However, they are all over 700 so work on your GMAT.

For application process find here: https://bit.ly/1btqEaZ

With a score of 680-690, you can target few top schools, but your undergraduate GPA, university, professional experience, leadership roles, extra-curricular activities, etc will have a significant say in your admission any of the top universities. GMAT is just one parameter in your application. Your essays matter a lot in your application. Aim for a good score and write to us.

Hello Digvijay01, there's a lot to do even if the GMAT is not 750.... Did you see this?

You can probably get into top 20 b-schools if your profile is otherwise strong.
