KUDOS to you for accomplishing so much at your age.

When are you planning to apply to business school?

I wish your GMAT score were a little higher, since you're targeting MIT and London Business School. Would you consider retaking it?

Great extracurriculars and work experience so far.

Let me know if you like to have a quick chat. I got my MBA from London Business School, and have been an alumni interviewer for the school, so I can talk to you about the selection process. Just send me your info, and we can schedule a time to talk. http://marveladmissions.com/contact-us/

Good luck!

Actually I wanted to apply this year for some Master programme (not MBA) in Europe/Asia but I decided to give MBA a shot (due to the earlier deadlines for US universities) and to write a GMAT without much preparation (I prepared only a few days for this test). And now it is quite difficult for me to decide what to do because my GMAT score isn't superb but it is also not bad.

If I decide to apply for MBA now I have no idea how big chances I have right now with such an experience and such a GMAT score so maybe it is better to postpone it and apply for MBA later. On the other hand, if I postpone my MBA application I do not know whether such a score is sufficient to be accepted to some top-notch Master Programmes (HSG, LBS etc.) or still should I retake the test (I bet the better score is possible not only because I lacked preparation but also I have finished the test about 1 hour before deadline so maybe slowing down would be helpful).

Thanks for your response!

Hi,

I had the feeling you are capable of getting a much better GMAT score. You should definitely spend more time to prepare for it and pace yourself properly during the test. Not only does the higher GMAT score help your chances of getting into the top schools, it will also help your chances of getting scholarship.

For the top MBA programs, such as London Business School, they really want you to have 3 years of work experience.

So it makes sense for you apply later with more work experience and a higher GMAT score.

Let me know if you like to discuss further.

Good luck!

Christine
