Hi all,
I am in a very much confused state regarding my application to B schools.Let me say about my profile first :

GMAT SCORE:720

GPA-7/10 -->from a top 10 institution in india

Work exp:Indian IT industry.work experience will be 3 years during the date of joining in college

Started a company named Returnwealth financial services-independent equity resarch firm for last 2 years and been rated as one of the very wel growing companies in my place ..

Goal: to wor in an investment firm for few years and start a own company and to project it to a world class level.

So planning to pursue MBA in finance

Been awarded as champion at work in a very ample amount of time when i joined the company

Been Placement co-ordinator and IEEE chairman in my college

District level cricket player and been represented as captain of my college team

Active volunteer of NSS during the college level



I want experts to advise me on the following things:

1) Which colleges do i get good chance to get into.Really confused on this because of my very low work experience.

2)My very low work experience say 3 years while joining will that impact much and which colleges prefer these kind of people?

3)If i retake and get 750 in GMAT will that be more helpfull stil?

Really will be very thankful for your advises

Hi,

I think 3 years of work experience is good. I don't see that being a negative thing.

My personal feeling about the GMAT is that if your score is already within the average for the top schools, getting a higher score doesn't make you smarter or help your chances too much. The time you would've put into studying for the GMAT may be better used to take on additional responsibilities at work, or serve the community.

Clarity of career goals and being able to show transferrable skills is very important as well. Please see the recent article I wrote regarding career goals.

I would be happy to talk to you further if you are interested in getting admissions consulting help.

Good luck!
