First, 20 colleges.. is that narrowed down or just jotted down.
Second, ru sure gmat score are acceptable for ms ? plus in all the 20 schools listed?
A third category for narrowing could be preference to any area where u would like to work after course?
Are all the schools within the mean of the gmat score?
ICFAI certi is not known as CFA. dont use it as so, it could be misleading.
As u already have financial aid restrictions, narrow down on basis of that? Are all 20 within the boundaries.
