Where all should I apply?

[saurabhawasthi21]

Hi
I want to know if there is any realistic chance for me to get in top 10 like Stanford or Kellogg and all?

1. Pass out in 2008 from IIT Roorkee (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, CGPA: 7.2)
2. Worked as Inspection Engineer for Static Equipment at Reliance Industries Limited for 2 years.
3. Started a venture Bestow Group, providing Mechanical Maintenance of Static Equipment in CHEMICAL Industries,but failed.
4. Worked with the start up for 8 months.
5. Working with HSBC for next 1.5 years.
6. Running an NGO Zero Hour for the last 2 years. Get more info on Zero Hour on www.zerohr.org
7. Gmat Score: 660, Quant: 50, Verbal: 28.


Please advise me on the case.

Hi! It is very difficult for me to give you a list of schools to apply to - there are too many variables that should effect your decision. Some things to consider:
-Do you want a city school or a school on a campus?
-Do you want a mandatory or flexible curriculum?
-Do you want a larger school or smaller?
-What concentration are you interested in? If so, what programs are best for that?

Those are just a few things to consider. Also, from looking at your GMAT score and background, you may want to look at schools outside of the top 10, but there are many good schools right below those that might serve you well. Stanford and Kellogg are both incredibly competitive.

Best of luck,
