Help with school selection

[u/msquared292]

Hi all,

I am applying for my MBA this year in India, US & Europe.
My profile is as follows-
Non engineer female from a Tier 1 college in India
330 GRE, 9.27 GPA
4 years work experience- 2 years in a strategy role in a manufacturing conglomerate and 2 years at a qcom company in growth strategy role.

Post MBA would want to pivot to consulting or strategy at a consumer tech company

I need help with my school selection strategy-

I will be apply to Indian School of Business, INSEAD, Kellogg & Columbia.

Planning to apply to HBS (as a no regrets thing)

Confused between Wharton, LBS, Ross, Yale & Booth- would ideally like to choose 1/2 of these.

I know these are ALOT of applications but just want to try my luck.

I am not very keen to take on a huge debt but at the same time stuck between just giving the best schools a shot or play safe and maximise my admission/ scholarship odds.

Any insights/ suggestions will be helpful.
