Hi,
I am from India, female. Last year I gave my GMAT exam in Feb 2021. My score was 620; Q41, V35.
I have a previous score from Jan 2020 - 540; Q36, V27.
I am planning to apply with the recent score of 620 and I am targeting a full-time MBA in Canada.
Education Background:
Class 10 (2012) - 93.5%
Class 12 (2014) - 79.2%
University degree (2018) - CGPA 7.02
[B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering]
Working Experience:
Internship as a Project Manager for iOS and android application development team at Wegile Pvt Ltd.
Duration: 6 months (last semester of degree)
Full-time employment at Virtual Employee Pvt. Ltd.
Role: Project coordinator and head of Process Excellence
Duration: Full Time (3 years +) (July 2018 - Present)
Kindly review my profile. Can I get into McGill, UBC, or Schulich...with my current scores? I am not planning to reappear for the test. Any other B schools that I should target in Canada?
Please ask any questions that would help to evaluate better.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Smile38,
First off, congratulations on improving your score already. That's a nice jump across the board with your scores. I think you can apply to the schools you are asking about, but you would improve your chances with a retake, as most of the schools' averages are higher, at around 650-670+, and applications from Indian candidates can often be held to a higher standard due to the competition. Usually the application processes, however, are holistic and will take strong leadership into consideration (and it looks like you have some good leadership at your current job). To improve your chances, you would add some schools that are lower ranked, where your GMAT score falls ABOVE the average or at least is very close. Perhaps HEC Montreal, Concordia and Dalhousie are worth looking into? Many of these schools are small, though, so I would suggest applying broadly to increase your chances. Good luck!
Warmly,
Julie-Anne Heafey

Thanks for sharing your question, your 620 is a challenging score, your academic is quite good and you have a great experience, yes, you can apply with this score to get into McGill, UBC, Schulich. Now we would suggest knowing your areas of improvement you should work upon your story, you can add any big project, and about your community service, focus on hard and smart work then nothing to worry You have a series of things to concentrate, you have to stress that now you need to build the profile, get your strategy aligned with the right course/college, ensure your profile adds to your short term and long-term goal.
