<blockquote>I have been following posts at findmba for couple of months now.
There are few things I wish to gain info (pertaining the US MBA program)
I have 4.2 years experience as of now. Presently working as a Senior Business Analyst for an IT department of an Investment Bank (Captive) , am an Indian National. Have got more than 1 yr of International Exposure as a Business Analyst.
Decent academic grades and have worked with Fortune 100 companies. I just started preparing for GMAT (from the last 3 months). Intend to appear for the exam in November 2010.
I have around 16 lakhs rupees(or 35K USD) as savings available with me. Would this amount be adequate for me to go for a US MBA?
I understand that MBA in the US is for 2 years, unlike European MBA which is 1 yr. Which is a better option, European MBA or US MBA?
Would I be able to work part time , if I go for a US MBA?
I am already working for Investment Banks, so just would like to more into Higher Managment rather than a carrier change.

Not for the schools you are looking at. NYU Stern is over $90k. Non-resident fees at UNC are $85k+.

Your savings won't be nearly enough to cover even the tuition, let alone living expenses. You should look into financial aid, scholarships, loans, etc. For this you'd probably need to do some research, even going so far as contacting the financial aid departments of the school you are considering.
