I appeared for my GMAT today and I scored 640 ( Q-49, V-27). I would like to mention here that my mock GMAT scores at home were way higher i.e. 690-730( Q-47-50 and V 36-41). I strongly believe that I can do better in GMAT if I retake it in another two months. Retaking in two months means I would be missing the first round of application dates for some of the schools.
I am planning to apply in ISB- India, IIM-C - India, London Business School, Oxford- Said, Judge- Cambridge, INSEAD
I have done Bachelor of Planning followed by Masters in Urban Planning from School of Planning and Architecture,Delhi, India. I dont know how to calculate GPA but in Undergrad and post grad my percentage was 70% and 73% ( the topper of the batch did not cross 80% in any case)
I have 5 + yrs work experience in India. My experience comprises of extensive experience in planning design implementation and project management of Public Transportation Project.
I also have memberships of esteemed professional institutes of India.
And yes I am a female candidate
My question here is do I stand any chance in any of the schools I have mentioned. Or should I retake GMAT
Hi Rupanandy,
You have a decent profile with good academics. And seeing your profile, I think you do stand a good chance in full time programs of the b schools listed by you. But definitely retake your GMAT to give your application an extra boost.
Regarding your GPA, as per the score mentioned by you, as per my calculation you have around 3.5 GPA. You can know more about GPA Calculation here

You should also get your essays reviewed from them before sending it along with your application to better your prospects.
