Hello everyone,
I am an Indian applicant, working as an IT Professional. I appeared for my GMAT recently and now I am interested in applying for colleges, however I am confused if my profile is strong enough or not.
Total Exp : 6+ years in IT
GMAT 1: (Last year in Oct) : 610 (Q48, V28)
GMAT 2: 650 ( Q46, V34)
CGPA : 6.5/10
I am interested in pursuing an MBA in Finance and want to apply for one of the top colleges for this, not necessarily in US, It could be elsewhere as well.
I was actually targeting for a 700+ score, but ended up with 650. I am interested in colleges like Wharton, Kellogg, INSEAD, ISB or NYU.
The stats for these colleges show a high median GMAT of 700+, though the mid 80% range does include 650+ scores.
Does it make sense if I still apply for the last cycle of these colleges which is ending pretty soon in April 2016.
If not these, then which are the colleges that I can apply to with my current profile.
Thanks.
Thanks for your post. While it is good that you improved to 650, you really need to score higher in order to be competitive at any of the schools you listed. There are many different reasons the schools accept applicants with lower GMAT scores, but unfortunately you come from a very competitive demographic group so you would be expected to do a lot better.
I would also recommend waiting to apply in round one this fall rather than submit a late application at this point based on your stats.
With your current score, you can target schools like Indiana Kelley, USC Marshall, Imperial College London and similar schools ranked 25-30.
Reach out if you want to talk about how I can help you with your applications and walk you through the process.
Scott@personalmbacoach.com Good luck!
Best,
