Post MBA - Investment banking/PE Sudhir, Are you going to be relying on the schools to get you a position with a US PE firm or investment bank? Or are you plan to use your network to obtain your post-MBA job? Linda

I asked because many U.S. investment banks use the GMAT as a screening tool. <700=no interview. I have no idea if that's true in Asia. I also understand that many PE shops don't use the GMAT as a screening tool. Basically, and I don't think this will surprise you, your work experience, international exposure, and community service are very impressive. Highly competitive at any top program. However, your GMAT is not. It is a major obstacle. Consequently, you hard to assess or predict. Am I correct that you do NOT want to retake the GMAT? I am not optimistic about your chances at ISB or HKUST with your current score, although the latter is more likely to accept you than ISB. Best, Linda
