Hi everyone
So, i'm in a very big dilemma. I got 710 on my GMAT.
After consulting with few people, this is what i've got. According to the big big consultants out there, I've got a very small chance in 10-20 school in US.
My realistic options are- Emory business school, Kelly Indiana, Georgetown, Babson, Smith, Rotman, RIce. Mccombs is also a possibility.
I also have an option in ISB.
So my question is- What are my job prospects in the above mentioned US schools? I've been told that it's difficult for Indians to get a job in US. Also, i've never done a job in my whole life, I've been self employed from last 4 years and according to some, that hurts my chances even more as companies might think i'm just not cut out for jobs.
I'll be taking a big loan if i go to US.
So guys, my question is- Is it worth it?
Any Indians who have studied from any of the above schools, i'll especially welcome your feedback.
Do you think i'm thinking too much or should i just drop the idea of studying in US and opt for safe and good ISB?

Thank You

If you want we can chat on https://gmatclub.com/chat. Things are not as bad as you feel.
Its a good score if not outstanding. It all depends on what you want in life and how you can project yourself.

Hi Ashutosh Aggarwal,

First off, a 710/Q51 is an outstanding score (it's right around the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. It's important to remember that highly-competitive Business Schools see LOTS of applicants, so you need to have a strong OVERALL application AND you need to 'market yourself' correctly to each of the individual Schools that you apply to. As such, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

ask-admission-consultants-124/

When thinking about which Schools/Programs to apply to, it often helps if you can define what you want the MBA to help you to accomplish. What type of industry do you want to work in and what type of career do you want to have?

Ashutosh,

First of all I think Rotman is in Canada.

https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/

Secondly, I think the feedback you received is quite realistic. Way I see it, it is the best interest of schools to form classes with great student diversity, and Indian students are in high supply so even a 710 may not be good enough.

You'll find some information in the link below to be most useful (even though you got a high GMAT score):

https://www.accepted.com/mba/mba-admissi ... -or-gpa#l1

"Evaluating the numbers in the context of your demographic profile. This article's guidelines (above) for what constitutes "low numbers" are general. To really understand the impact of your numbers, you must first understand your demographic profile vis-a-vis the MBA applicant pool for your chosen school(s). Regardless of how rare a demographic profile may be, an adcom will not admit an applicant if it believes he cannot handle the coursework. Beyond that, it's really a matter of supply-and-demand. Demographics encompass your ethnicity, nationality, gender, and industry background. It is well known that Indian engineers and computer scientists with high numbers are over-represented in the applicant pool, as are white and Asian male investment bankers with high numbers. Thus, a GMAT in the lower 80% range and a 3.3 GPA may be a problem for them in applying to, say, Wharton, whereas a female Peruvian corporate finance associate with a 650 GMAT and 3.3 GPA from a good national university would be a viable applicant. If this Peruvian female had a 590 GMAT and a 2.7 GPA, that might not be the case, as questions would arise as to her ability to master the coursework. In a sense, understanding your demographic profile is part of looking closely at the numbers and reading the nuances."
