Dear Team,


I recently appeared for GMAT and scored 610 (Q49 V27 :cry: IR8 :))
My profile -
* Engg grad (Hons) with 6 year exp (3+ years international) 3.74 GPA
* currently working in a fortune 500 insurance company as a full time employee (location USA)
* Indian national but US permanent residency in process.
* Holds Six sigma green belt and project management graduate certificate from University of California berkeley
* job responsibilities include project management (60%) and technical lead (40%)
* have published 2 papers in international journal (on six sigma)
* Already earning $90k + PA
* some volunteer and CSR work.
* Might get sponsorship from employer.

My score was sent to Oxford, IE, INSEAD, HEC, ESADE.

Please let me know what are my chances and which B-school should I actually apply to. Can I get any of the above? Should I reappear for GMAT?

Hi there,

While your experience sounds respectable within the context of engineering etc, to be honest your chances presently at schools of that caliber are going to be very slim. Since schools take the highest score, AND you can cancel if unhappy with your score, AND it's fairly common to re-take.... I suggest some tutoring and give it another shot as that would help a lot!! Good luck, keep us posted!

Hello MbaMission

I appeared for GMAT today for 2nd time. I got 650 (Q50 v28 IR6). Any Suggestions?

Regards,
Mohit

Hi there,

A 650 is certainly more helpful than a 610... I still feel INSEAD would be a big reach; the others are still a bit of a reach but you could give it a shot; you'd really want to try and highlight what you think you bring to the class that others with similar backgrounds do not. And your chances would be even higher at schools where you are closer to the average GMAT. ;)
