Hi all,
Just to give you all back ground about me. I work in India as an investment operations analyst and was planning to do my MiM this year in universities like EDHEC or EMlyon but unfortunately my GMAT prep has not been great and I just scored a 400 with 2 months of study. I know which isn’t great but for the time I had it was the most I could study. I know I can do so much better if I spend dedicated time to it.
Because of this in the last week I had this thought of leaving work this year and study properly for like 4 months and write the GMAT again and finish my applications for the the 2025 intake soon so that I can get a good chance of getting a higher scholarship.
I also feel with the circumstance's around my work life and finding fruitful time to study , I see waiting for one year is correct but I also do not want to feel like wasting one year.
Please let know your guys opinions.
Thank you

Hello Austindsouza,
I hope you are doing well. I understand your situation and the dilemma you're facing. Deciding between taking a year off to focus on the GMAT and scholarship applications or applying this year with your current score is a big decision that depends on several factors.
Here's my analysis to help you weigh the pros and cons:
Option 1: Take a year off and study for the GMAT:
Pros:
1. Increased chance of a higher GMAT score: With dedicated time and a longer study period, you're likely to significantly improve your score, potentially opening doors to more scholarship opportunities and top-tier MiM programs.
2. Improved application quality: More time allows you to strengthen other aspects of your application, such as essays, internships, and extracurricular activities.
Reduced stress: You can focus solely on preparation without balancing work and studies.
Cons:
1. Financial implications: Taking a year off means foregoing a year's salary, which can be a significant financial strain.
2. Opportunity cost: You lose out on a year of work experience and career progression.
3. Motivation: Staying motivated over a longer period requires strong discipline and resilience.
Option 2: Apply this year with a 400 GMAT score
Pros:
1. No career break: You maintain your work experience and income.
2. Faster progress: You can start your MiM program sooner, reaching your career goals quicker.
3. Potential acceptance: While competitive programs might be out of reach, some MiM programs consider diverse factors and might accept you with a lower score.
Cons:
1. Limited scholarship opportunities: A lower GMAT score typically translates to fewer and smaller scholarships.
2. Less competitive applications: Other applicants with higher scores might make your application stand out less.
3. Increased stress: Juggling work and studies can be demanding and impact your application quality.
Ultimately, the decision depends on your personal priorities and risk tolerance. Consider your financial situation, career goals, and how important a higher scholarship is to you.
We offer a limited number of complimentary profile evaluations each week. We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools. In this call, the experts will try to dig out your USP for top B-schools and provide you with honest feedback on your profile and chances to your target schools.
