Profile evaluation [#permalink] New post   27 Apr 2010, 14:16
Please evaluate my profile

I recently took GMAT with score of 690 (Q49 V 34)

Work Ex 3 years
International experience- India , Netherlands

GPA: 3.3/4

I am planning to apply for INSEAD, LBS, Kellogs.
Though I would also like to apply for Stanford and HBS, however given average scores required for these two schools my chance seems bleak.

I have a couple of queries:
1. Is my profile competitive to apply for INSEAD, LBS, Kellogs.
2. taking specifically GMAT score of 690 and worl ex of 3 years, how likely is that I will get an interview call. I am asking this question as to look for an option of retaking GMAT.

Appreciate your reply,
Cheers,
Sanjeev

Two things. First, the GMAT is just one of many things they look at - the GMAT alone doesn't say much. You score is in range, but it will come down to the quality of your work experience - you never mentioned what it is you do for a living. Secondly, it's Kellogg, not "Kellogs".

Alex,
Some more information that you asked:
demographic data (age- 26, sex- M, nationality- Indian)
school- I graduated from IIT(reputed Engineering Institute in India)
Profesionnal experience- I am working in oil& Gas business as an engineer. My responsibilities include technical as well as managerial work.

Another query that comes to my mind is :Though the average GMAT score (as stated in the GMATclub list) is within range however the person who may have been admitted at a GMAT score (of say 690 earlier) may have high work experience. My work ex is 3 years as of now which is on a lower side.
Considering these aspects, I guess youmay be in better position to make suggestion about the profile competitiveness
regards,
sanjeev

A high GMAT score isn't going to compensate for lack of work experience (quality or quantity).

In other words, if your score was 740, your chances aren't going to be materially different with the profile you have.

You're likely going to be a stretch for the tier of schools you mentioned -- you may be more competitive for schools outside the top 16 at this point. As an engineer, you're competing against folks who have a few more years experience than you do - usually around 4-6 years. However, if you feel you're ready this year, by all means apply, but just make sure to have realistic expectations.
