Hi Joshy,

Admits to the top 50 universities depend upon a number of reasons including, GMAT, managerial Work experience, application essays, previous GPA, references etc.

You do seem to have a chance in a number of business schools. However, guaranteed placement after completion is something which is not offered by the top institutions. They do, however, give you ample opportunities to connect with their alumni and give you industry exposure.

Hope this answers your question.

DO connect if you have more questions.

Best wishes
