Hi All,
I have recently given my GMAT focus edition test and scored a 655. I'm looking to apply for b-schools for my second MBA (I already hold an MBA degree from a top 15 b-school in India) and would like to get an understanding of where I stand currently.
A brief about my profile:
I'm currently working with Capgemini as an SCM Business Consultant. I'm planning for the 2025 admit and will have gain an experience of close to 36-40 months. I have done my MBA from IIM Tiruchirappalli and graduated in the year 2022. I hold a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from NIT Calicut.
Moving onto my academics, I have 60-70% marks in both my UG and PG from NIT and IIM respectively.
I'm basically looking to apply for the M7 schools and would like to know where my profile stands. Kindly let me know if there's any other b-schools that I should try to target apart from M7 as well.
Thank You

Hi MJeet,
If you are keen on the top MBA programs (I advise you should also look beyond M7), you should first work on getting the GMAT score up. A 655 FE score converts to 700 on the classic GMAT, which is less than what you would require for the top 10 MBA programs (think of a 740+ on GMAT Classic). Moreover, both your undergrad and masters scores are in the 60%-70% range, which again would not be competitve at the top MBA programs. So in effect, both the GMAT test score and the GPA- which are the two components of the academic criteria at a business school are not so competitive. As you can still work upon the GMAT component to make it higher, that's where your focus over the next 2-4 months should be.
Also, there are many MBA programs outside the M7 which are just as good and will offer you a similar MBA experience. I'd advise you to look deeply into those as well and not be narrowly focussed on common categorizations of MBA programs or rankings. An MBA is about your overall academic and social experience and therefore your fit and interest in what a b-school offers is more important that plain rankings and term-categorizations.
Hope that helps.

MJeet - some thoughts/ clarifications:
1. What are your career goals post-MBA i.e. which sectors/ functions are you targeting? This, along with your fitment to class profile, can help prioritize programs. Top B-schools for consulting, finance and tech careers can be found here, here and here
2. Your GPAs and current GMAT score would make M7's a stretch, due to the competitive applicant pool. Latest class profiles/ averages of M7's can be found here. I would suggest retaking GMAT (or switching to GRE) to increase your odds. Adding some more UST-25 B-schools (aligned to your career goals) would help derisk.
3. It would be crucial to have a strong narrative highlighting your motivation for a second MBA. B-schools value ExtraCurriculars; presenting a balanced profile highlighting your overall traits/ personality would also be important.
Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out through the link(s) below for a deeper chat.
