Hi,

I just gave my 2nd attempt and scored a 640 in GMAT with V34 and Q44.
I'm an Indian male, age 26, work ex : entrepreneur/start-up for 4 years in sustainable energy ( Solar ).
Served reputed and well known clients such as Zomato and Patanjali.
Undergraduate in Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) - Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), University of Delhi ( NAAC-A+ credited college and University )
72.25% as overall aggregate in all the 6 semesters.
5 Internships in total which includes an NGO for blood donation and 2 marketing internships from multi-billion Dollar groups such as Patanjali and DS Group (catch spices).

Have a proven track record of exceptional leadership qualities both in college and post undergrad experience.

Would like to apply in top B-schools in Canada such as Rotman, Ivey, Mcgill, Schulic and Queens.
Want to know, based on my profile mentioned above along with the GMAT score, am I competitive enough or do I need to re-attempt GMAT for an improved score?

Thanks,
Ayush

You have a strong profile - SRCC/good work ex

It is best you retake gmat.

The average scores for the schools are close to 700, so it is better to increase the quant score, Ideally Q49 V36 ~ 700+

So retake and look at ISB if you want to

Look at this - https://e-gmat.com/blogs/top-business-s ... in-canada/

Ideally you should have your gmat score more than the average. It is best to be in the 700 club

Hi ayush777777777,

Your current work experience and past internships are strong. Great to hear that you feel you have plenty of leadership experience, as this will enhance your profile.

That said, I do recommend taking the GMAT again. A 640 is below the average for these top Canadian business schools. Even though some candidates with lower GPA and test scores may be admitted (and vice versa), you must set reasonable expectations.

You should aim to hit 700 since you are coming from a highly represented background. Personal MBA Coach can help you maximize your score via our customized tutoring services with tutors who have scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT/GRE and are graduates of MIT, Harvard, and UPenn.

Do not hesitate to reach out to discuss how we can help boost your candidacy: scott@personalmbacoach.com.

Best,
Personal MBA Coach
