QUESTION: I can afford around 20000 USD per year.I am in my first semester.I joined for fall 08.

Answer
I suggest that you look at some of the AACSB accredited business schools in the US. I am more familiar with east coast schools - you my want to start with this list. I cannot speak to your admissibility to any of these, but your GMAT is solid enough to get you into quite a few US schools.

St John Fisher (Rochester, NY)
Niagara University
St. Bonaventure University
Canisius College
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Buffalo
Behrend College
Gannon University
LeMoyne College
Duquesne University
Rider University (NJ)
Monmouth University (NJ)
Rochester Institute of Technology

Keep in mind that you will probbaly be able to transfer only 6 or maybe 9 of the credits you collect at IIT.

I think you should be very upfront with them about what resources you have to pay for school and what kind of aid may be available to help you with the difference. Since you can pay a fair amount, you may find schools willing to come up with something to fill in the gap. Many business schools are inundated with internaional applications from students needing full scholarships or close to it, aso the fact that you have some resources works in your favor.


Best wishes,

Bruce
