Hi all,
I took the Official GMAT today and got a 660 (Q47, V34), not sure how to feel about it yet.
I had been aiming for some of the top MBA programs in (a) Europe such as HEC, Insead, LBS, IESE and RSM, (b) a couple in US- Kellogg, Booth and Stern, and (c) Canada- Rotman.
But with a 660 I am not sure how my application will uphold in any of these colleges.
Would really appreciate if you guys can provide some input.
To give you a little background-
I am a 28 years old, Indian female, corporate lawyer (M&A/ PE).
3.5 years of work experience and currently working in one of India’s reputable full service law firm.
I graduated with 6.1/8 GPA from one of India’s 15 top ranked law schools. My undergrad program was an integration of Bachelors in business administration and LLB (India’s JD equivalent).
For international exposure in terms of work- I only have a month long internship with a VC firm in Amsterdam to show.
I don’t have any leadership experience.
I can take the GMAT again, but I will prefer not to as I usually have a 60-80 hours work week. Having said that, if that’s the only way to get things moving for my applications I might as well take the test.
Also, what rounds would you guys recommend applying in.
Thank you!

Hi Paridhi18
Sorry your GMAT did not go as planned. Normally I would need information about your extra curriculars, your career progression( promotions) in your firm and your actual why MBA story to give a better recommendation but from the outset based on your stats, the schools you are aiming for are a reach. Your work experience is on the lower end and you definitely need to up your GMAT ,especially being an Indian applicant( one of the most competitive pools). For the European schools for instance, you need a bit more work experience and more international exposure. On the latter point, next to physically working somewhere, also think about if you have worked on international projects in anyway, with diverse teams. As for the GMAT, the experience you already have with it counts for something. Try to do some strategic and focused studying to get into the 700 range, and maybe even invest in a tutor for this. It will help your profile a lot, at least for the schools you want.
I hope this helps a bit.

Thank you for the response, Nancy Kas. I have worked on a few transactions where we represented/ assisted US based companies/ funds in acquiring stakes in Indian entities, but I am not sure to what extend will this work experience qualify as “international exposure”. Any thoughts?
