The most important List

Now that the research into finding the most suitable schools as per my profile has been done, its time to publish it and see for myself how it looks. Although I have prepared many documents that contain the list i.e. word, excel etc., but nothing beats the Web. Here it goes:

  1. University of Berkeley, Haas School of Business (A little too ambitious)
  2. Duke University, Fuqua School of Business (Very competitive)
  3. University of North Carolina, Kenan-Flagler School of Business (Very competitive)
  4. University of Texas, McCombs School of Business (Very competitive)
  5. Emory University, Goizueta School of Business (quite Competitive)
  6. Indiana University, Kelley School of Business (quite Competitive)
  7. University of Washington, Foster School of Business (competitive)
  8. HEC School of Management, Paris (again a little too ambitious)
  9. ISB, Hyderabad (again very competitive)
  10. ESADE, Spain (depending on priorities)

Tip for school selection: Goto each school website, figure out their courses, their electives, what you want to do after MBA, what you like, average class Profile, placements, faculty, sometimes location, out-of-class activities etc. etc. Once you see the Class Profile, decide on
  1. one or two dream types of schools where the average class profile is your profile.
  2. four or five competitive schools where the average class profile is little below your profile.
  3. one or two safety schools where the average class profile is far below your profile.

By profile, I mean the gmat score, work experience, age, background, interests etc.
