1. GRE or GMAT................25%
2. Acads...........................35%
3.Recos........................... .20%
4. Admission essay or SOP...10%
5. extra- curriculars.............10%

thank u soooo much...

well if u r graduating this yr.................and if u plan to go for fall 2007 semester( i.e. august 2007).................this is the ideal time table u shud follow( this is entirely my view based on exp...if neone differs plz feel free to correct me).......................

->march-april........start ur prep for watever exam u have to take ...be it GRE or GMAT
->september-october..............take ur exams.......also in the mean time start searching for the courses that u wanna study( a gud source is www.petersons.com)
->November- December............get ur recos, transcripts, SOPs etc ready.........
->dec-jan............apply.............and wait for the acceptance...........

abt the scholarships......of course u r eligible for merit based scholarshis...........like TA, GA etc...........
also it will definitely be a gud idea to finish ur Mcom part 1 coz that will open up a lot of options for u.............as not all the unis accept 3 yr grad( in the US............in UK it is fine).........
abt loans.......u can apply for education loans from any of the banks...........SBI gives gives loans upto 20 lakhs....against a collateral.....like ur house , or any other property..........but that is only after u get ur acceptance from the uni....................nething else i'll b happy to help....................and yeah.......sorry for calling u a dude

but dont loose heart......there are other options as well.......if u r willing to sacrifice that brandname u cn get plnty of better deals...............for one try the b-schools of state universities in the US.....they are cheaper.......and there are a few really gud b-schools among them......................
best of luck......

Most of the top univs arrange for loan without a US co-signer. If you get into a top univ, funding should be the least of your worries. Better to focus those energies on getting into a top program!

Best of luck!
