Hi All,
Need some advice on the schools i can apply to based on my profile and GMAT score. I am an Indian with a total work experience of 6+ years (4+ in Management Consulting and 2 years prior experience in Industry). I gave my GMAT yesterday and got a score of 670(Q-48,V-34). In the official GMAT exams, i was getting 700-710 but the final score was much below that. Is this score good enough given the number of years of work exp. to get into a good B- school? Can someone please tell me the B-schools i can apply to or should i give the GMAT again? Also, what are the best strategies to raise the sore from 670 to say 740?
Many Thanks!!

Hi samarthc87,
The process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School will require a big investment of time, money and energy on your part, so you really should make sure that the Programs that you apply to match your career goals/needs. There are a variety of factors that go into selecting the Schools that you'll apply to. Instead of just applying to Programs in which you might have a good chance to 'get in', here are some other things to think about:
1) Is there a particular company that you want to work for or industry that you want to work in? Certain degrees are more appropriate than others if you have a specific career goal.
2) What do you want your MBA to do for you?
3) Do you want to go to School full-time or part-time?
4) Are you willing to relocate? Are you comfortable with working through a program that is primarily online?
5) Are you going to be applying for scholarships?
Etc.
It's okay if you don't have answers to any of these questions just yet, but you really should try to define all of the important variables in terms of your goals, so that you can tailor your entire approach to getting into the best School that matches what you're looking for. In addition, once you have a list of Schools, you'll have a better understanding of how competitive your GMAT score is and whether you should retest or not.

You are asking a lot of questions here.
Let me try to answer them one by one:
1. Is the GMAT score sufficient?
I would say that if you have time, retake it. You belong to the most overly representative pool of applicants and the bette you score the better it is
2. B-Schools to apply?
This depends on you. Do you want to apply in India itself or are you consider foreign schools as well. Which industry do you want to be in. Do you want to study in the US, Asia or Europe. Answer to all these questions will help you narrow down your list of schools.
3. How to improve GMAT score?
I see a scope of improvement in both quants and verbal. I would recommend you to go back to your course material/books and revisit the concepts.
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Post this, try to find out your weak areas and practice the questions by digging deep:
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
Make sure you complete all of the OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
In addition, you can also look at the courses that come with a score guarantee. We offer a 50 point score increase or full money back guarantee. The guarantee demonstrates our trust in the course.
