Hello Guys,
I gave my GMAT yesterday and it was disappointing 540 (Q:42, V:22). There are couple of questions I would like to ask but before
that I would summarize my profile in short which might help you to understand my situation in better way.
Age: 24.4
Nationality: Indian
Academics 10th : 73.2%
12th: 57%
Final Year of Graduation : 63%
Additional diploma's:
Diploma in Advertising and Media
Diploma in Animation
But in between, during my first year and second year of degree college I failed once each year. Was doing my diploma during the first year
and by the time I reached second year I had a job in ad agency.
[P.s: Just to add, I am an average student in terms of studies, neither great nor bad. Its just that I enjoyed my diploma and job more than
studies so the above result].
I cleared my final year in first attempt (took break from job ) and cleared with 63%.
Work experience:
June 2011-Jan 2013 [ Undergrad work experience ]:
Client Servicing Executive in an Advertising agency (6months)
Creative Executive - 1year (Same agency)
Completed my graduation in the month of April 2013.
May 2013-July 2015 (Post graduation work tenure):
Freelancing Assistant Director - roughly 6months
Designation : Senior Creative Executive (Same ad agency)
Job role: Scratch films, research and data analysis, conceptualization & ideation, BTL activities.
So over all this is my profile.
Why MBA ? :
I have been at this same place for too long and so deep into this agency that I have not updated myself with new things. There are
many more things which I feel I should learn or I'll be stuck at manager level max in couple of years.
Post MBA Goal:
To work with a consulting firm.
Question
1. Based of my profile and with my given GMAT score am I likely to get in any decent B-school ?
2. Should I retake the exam ?
a. If yes, what should be the target ?
b. If no, Q.1
Thank you very much for taking out time to read this.
Hoping for helpful replies
