First of all, i would like to thank GMAT club for shapin my GMAT prep. I jus gave the test and got a 660 (Quant - 46 and Verbal - 36). Though disappointed at not touching the 700 mark, i feel i have a shot at some of the US B schools. So instead of prep for a re-take, i'd be focusin on perfecting my essays. Have appended my profile below. Would be extremely grateful if someone can give a list of B schools that i can apply with the score i've got. Tks in advance!
Nationality - Indian
Background - Chartered Accountant
Work Exp - 3.5 yrs - 3 with Ernst and Young and 6 months with a UAE Company based out of Dubai
GPA - 3.6 (Majored in Commerce)
Have good extra-curriculars and was the cultural secy of my college
Also, can anyone of you tell me if i have a chance of getting thro at INSEAD or ISB, given that the cut off is 700.
Congratulations and reaching your goals. Based on your profile as a quantitatively oriented Indian applicant and your above GMAT score, I'd recommend putting together a really good story around your 6 months with the UAE company based out of Dubai. Ideally, you should have an extra year at that position to garner a better story to pitch to admissions. It's your best way to differentiate yourself from the thousands of other quant-oriented Indian b-school candidates. With a good story and provoking essays, you should be able to get interviews to further tell your story.
