Photography - Have my own blog with reasonable number of hits . Active member of Corporate Trekking Team Work Ex : .

Independently lead 3 global accounts on which I have been able to increase the revenue from $25k to over $600k within just a year. Accountable for client servicing, delivery and revenue generation. . Brought down cost overheads and directly contributing to the bottom line thus increasing overall savings from 13% to 22% in FY13-14'. Absolute saving of more than 1.5 million USD. . Instrumental in increasing the sales conversion from 6% to 14% within a span of a year. . Seasoned player and expert in providing end to end research solutions. .

Colleges Targeting ( With Some Financial Assistance) : . UNC Kenan Flagler . Wisconsin MBA . Terry - Michigan . Sloan . Emory Please guide me with the selection and would like to go with a college who is more liberal in terms of scholarships and can provide upfront GA/TA. I have decided only on the above mentioned colleges till now. I'd rather want to go with full scholarships as basically applying for round 3/4/5/rolling - what are the odds? Along with the above, I want to move fast and planning for a 2015 admit so I know for a fact it is going to be challenging but I just can't wait for another year before I get too old for a B School. Thanks in Advance J

I heard that majority of the top 30 B-schools in USA, charge excess of 70 lakhs (tution+living) or even more. If this is the case, then I believe it is impossible to go for MBA in USA. My budget is 30-35 Lakhs max. Can I suggest some colleges that have good curriculum and placements of international students.

My marks: 10th 74.56% 12th : 60% but in graduation it is below 60%. I have some extra curricular activities. won prizes in presentation etc. I want to study MBA from USA. My first priority is to get full/partial scholarship as I come from humble background. I am not targeting top top 10-20 school. I can settle below 20 or 30 school provided I have good scholarship. What is the minimum Gmat score is required to get such scholarship. I know 700 + would be always good,but it is too tough. It will be great help if you provide such school name in which I may get accepted.

Hi everyone!
I am in a dire situation! I am applying for Nanyang Business School and NUS. My organization does not issue any 'domain-specific' email address and all our official correspondences are through our accounts on GMAIL. The only official id is of the form "[email protected]" , where 'xyz' is the company name. Will the referee report submitted from this email address be considered valid or do I have to get some other document or whatever to support it?
Experts..plz help..
Hi!i have a GMAT score of 750(AWA 5).Though I might not have much accolades to add to my name,I have volunteered for various NGOs over the past year and a half.Also,I have initiated a social project,which is currently running as an online website(apart from my actual work) and with it's help,we have raised money to buy books and stationeries for small schools across south India,two years in a row.I do have 4+ (2 abroad and 2+ in India)years of experience in the construction sector but took two 8 month breaks before and after my first job experience(I worked abroad for 27 months for a small firm).I used it to travel across India to study about the various SMEs and NGOs,how they function,their business model and their sustainability model etc.I am looking for schools in the North America and ISB for Strategic/Project Management and Entrepreneurship.Could someone please give me some insight(s) about my profile?
if i give my GMAT this year and apply after 4 years with this year score then B school will consider it less effective that year ( ie after 4 years) as compared to if i apply this year. As i looking to boost my profile bit so gaining work experience for 3-4 years but since i was free for last 5 months so started preparing for it and now i get call letter from TCS so i might not get time to focus on prep.
