Hello,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your help
Here is my profile :
- I'm a female non-native speaker from Thailand.
- I graduated from a top university in Thailand with GPA of 3.51/4.00 in Accounting
- I'm working as an Auditor (senior associate) at PricewaterhouseCoopers Thailand. I'll have 4 years of working experience when the school starts.
- My highest GMAT score up to date is 670 (82 percentile) with Quant 50 (87 percentile), Verbal 31 (61 percentile) and IR 7 (81 percentile)
I plan to apply to Oxford (Said), Cambridge (Judge) and Insead. If I could get higher score (above 700), I may also apply to Kellog (1-year program) and London Business School.
My main concern is that my GMAT score is quiet imbalance and may affect my application. Some of the alumni told me that both part of GMAT score should be
above 70 percentile in order to be accepted into those schools. I wonder if the imbalance score will affect my application? If it does I'll retake the exam.
Also, if you have any recommendations about things I should do to improve my profile, please tell me. I'll follow your advice.
Thank you.
Nat
Hey Nat,
So first of all your base profile is nice - you are female! And from Thailand! (B-schools dont get thaaaat many Thai candidates), and you work for a very good brand name firm.
Now a LOT will depend on all the rest - your school, your volunteer work, your ECs, etc etc etc.
So we can see about that.
I assume anyhow you will be applying R1 in 2016 right? (thats what I would suggest anyhow).
And with that much time, I would HIGHLY recommend you consider studying super hard and retaking the GMAT. At this level, even 30 points can make a huge difference, not to say what 50 points can do!!!!!
Best of luck!
Jon
