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.

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.
I have done BBA 2014 from De Montfort University and I want to do MBA. I am confused whether i should do it from india or abroad? At the moment I am preparing for CAT 2015 and working as well. If i score well n get in a good college than i will do an MBA in india otherwise i will give GMAT and apply for universities abroad. what do you think guys am I doing the right thing? Does an MBA from abroad(UK) have value in India? Recruiters in India prefer indian MBA or an MBA from UK? I have heard that the big recruiters in India hire MBA freshers only by campus recruitment, Is this true?
