Hey Abhishek!! Congrats for your remarkable success..
Kindly help me bro in answering some of my doubts-
Background- Basically i am from commerce background. I am a chartered accountant and now i want to take GMAT on 31st Oct,14. i have 2.5 yrs exp until now. I want admission in top 20 b-schools only.
1. I have scored 71.6% in graduation (B.com). How to convert it into GPA to fill in gmat form??
2. Am i too late now for 2015 Batches ??
3. Which colleges are good for doing MBA in finance ?
Hi Sachin,
Thanks for reaching out. To your questions:
1. I faced the same situation since my university didn't use the GPA system. Depending on the school application, I provided either my percentage obtained, or simply said 1st division. I didn't face any issues from any school I applied to. If you prefer, you could also email the schools to check this.
2. That's a very subjective question
. But if you get done with GMAT on 31st Oct, you still have 2 months to work on your application. That's certainly doable but you'll need to be diligent about investing time.
3. The schools best known for Finance are Wharton, LBS, Chicago Booth, NYU Stern, Columbia, UCLA and Cornell. I hope I haven't missed out some school.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out again.
Abhishek.
