I am gaurav from India. After graduation i have worked in family owned business, a manufacturing firm. During the short period of 2 years in business i fulfilled a wide range of responsibilities.

My long-term career goal is to run the family business and lead its turnaround by reshaping its operations and strategy. After my MBA i want to work in the field of consultancy in order to gain some experience in devising strategy for a multitude of "challenged" firms.

My Extracurricular:-
I am a member of mechanical engineering society of my college. In college i have organized the tech fest of our institute in 2005.

Under the membership of a social community i am active in providing free education to poor, distributing medicines in rural areas........

During weekends i serve the association for the welfare of persons with a mental handicap.

Academics:-
I have done mechanical engineering from one of the top 10 institutes of INDIA.
GPA 7.65/10
GMAT: 680 (v34 (69%), q49 (88%))

Can you suggest me some b-schools where my application can be competitive with such low verbal score (below 70%) and having an experience of just 30 months, keeping in view that i want to go to strategic consultancy post MBA1C

Thank you for your post.

I don’t think that your "low" verbal score will keep you out of an MBA program - it is not that low. If you can credibly market your family business story and prove that both you and the business have potential, there should be a school in the top-15 that will take a chance on you. In fact, during a down economy, the schools are interested in "sure things" with respect to internationals. Your story about transitioning to consulting may in fact be a more difficult sell than an immediate return to a potentially successful family business in an emerging market -- just a thought. I would consider schools like Darden and Michigan, solid general management schools.

Is consulting really what you want to do or is this something you feel you have to "sell"?

Sincerely,
