The GMAT asks you for 5 universities to which it will send the scores, before the test starts. My first cherry picked list was as follows:
1. Pamplin (Virginia Tech) - 620
2. Rutgers (The State University of New Jersey) - 637
3. Carlson (University of Minnesota) - 655
4. Mays (Texas A&M University) - 665
5. McCombs (University of Texas at Austin) - 673
Of course, the above has been sorted by GMAT scores. The range kind of tells you my estimation of my GMAT score. I scored 1270 on the SAT without much of an effort (I'd dub it 'low moderate', the degree of effort). Halving that gives me 635, and downscaling by difficulty I should have about 620 on GMAT with a 'low moderate' effort. Moderate should take it to 640, good should take it to 670, very good to 700 (Yang: In your dreams... Yin: AHA?).
With this list, I consulted Sharif bhai, my Grameenphone colleague and a graduate of US universities to gain his input. He suggested Brigham Young (Mormons?!;)), Indiana Bloomington (Kelley), Urbana-Champaigne, UTD, Penn State, Ohio State (Fisher), Boston, UMass at Amherst, Emory, Berkeley (yeah!) and University of Washington, in addition to my choices (a total of 11 new). He also suggested some Canadian universities such as York, UBC and Western Ontario (Ivey); interesting. Lots of searching to do, if you ask me. :)
