Hi, I scored 690 on my Gmat today, it was my second attempt. I have 6.5 years of overall experience and 2.5 years of leadership experience. Do i stand a change of getting an admin in universities such as oxford, Cambridge or LBS?

Hi sbhatnagar1901,

Your post is missing essential details pertaining to your background, achievements, and future goals; having said the above, even though schools evaluate profiles holistically, a 690 on the GMAT would be an under-average score for Indian male candidates applying to schools such as Oxford, Cambridge, and LBS (LBS would be fairly unreachable, in fact); with time at hand, we strongly recommend that you re-take the GMAT to have a much better chance at making it to your target schools.

All the best!

1) You need to share more detail about your work
2) With GMAT 690, many students have converted Oxford but LBS and Cambridge are harder nuts to crack with this score.
3) Is it your first GMAT attempt?
4) WHat is your sectionwise breakup?

Things look good ... But more information would be desirable.

Also, Chances will be better if you could push your GMAT score by 20 points and the key is Quant section. :)

What's your work location?
Do you have international work experience?
Do you have any professional Degree/certification?
What's your GPA?
WHich consulting firm are you working with?

Hello sbhatnagar1901,

For a school like LBS, you will ideally want to break into the 700s range on the GMAT. While you might have a chance at Oxford and Cambridge with your current score, I would still suggest working to maximize your score, particularly because your GPA is on the slightly lower side. Did your university use a 4.0 scale or did you convert it?

As competition increases and acceptance rates fall, giving the GMAT a 3rd attempt to secure a stronger score will help to set you apart from the crowd.

Feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to further discuss your application strategy. We are available for comprehensive support, which includes school selection, essay editing, mock interviews, and more!

Best,
Personal MBA Coach
