MBA Profile Evaluation and Suggestion

Asking this for a friend.

SHE:

  • Senior Risk Analyst | 4 years WorkEx | American Express.
  • Graduate from an old IIT.
  • Reason - MBA ideally from abroad, for exposure, foreign tag and global opportunities.
  • Wants to come back to India, maximum 2 years after MBA completion.

Profile:

  • GMAT Classic = 710
  • 9/9/8 in X/XII/undergrad
  • Planning to do some side NGO work

Post-MBA desired roles:

  • Roles with intersection of finance and analytics.
  • Research based roles
  • Strategy Roles
  • Not Consulting, IB, or Corporate Finance

Query 1: Considering her profile, does she have a chance to bag an MBA admit from the following with little scholarship:

  • LBS
  • Insead
  • HEC Paris
  • Oxford
  • Cambridge
  • SDA Bocconi
  • NUS Singapore
  • IESE
  • ISB
  • Are there other good schools, she can Target?

She's targeting 1 year programs only for cost purposes, hence the US is out of the picture. Feel free to suggest good 1 yr US programs

Query 2: Is it worth considering ISB MBA or IIM A PGPX, are they good and any comparison between the two?

Query 3: Should she reappear for GMAT, if her score is not good enough? How else can she build her profile? Any consultant she can refer to based on your personal experience?
