Re: wait for a couple of years? [#permalink]
If you have managed 680 in actual GMAT, there is no reason as to why you cannot increase that 720 with 3-4 months of diligent effort. How to do that its a different question ? Any reputed degree from Europe or US is revered in India. The point is that chances of getting a job are high as you would be applying for analyst roles from Masters in Management. Its easier to get a job at entry level. So by scholarships you are nullifying the downside risk of not landing a job. Again a lot depends what other choices do you have ?

Re: wait for a couple of years? [#permalink]
i totally agree with you on the risk factor part. But, i have to start the course by next FALL and can't possibly dedicate any more time to GMAT prep.
I d rather take french classes or work on non curricular part of my profile this remaining time.
Do you think i can hope to get into b schools for mba with my current profile?not the top league, maybe texas a & m and the likes.

Of course you can get into MBA but you will need 5 years of work ex to be competitive. Three years in IT in on the lower side. Try to get international exposure if possible. French is useful but extra curricula-rs won't help much in Masters in Management.
