what good profile means is it only good academics good experience or your organisation name college name matters ?
­Hi @harshita98999The adcoms look at these factors to determine your potential:


  1. Undergrad academics (Tier 1 college undergrads can get some brownie points, but not necessary that all Tier 1 undergrads are able to compete with Tier 2 undergrad candidates in terms of career progression. This levels the playing field).
  2. Career growth progression (how you have grown in your career year on year, what incremental responsibilities, awards).
  3. GMAT/GRE.
  4. Overall personality, ECs/interview performance.
The importance of organization brand name is subjective. What you have achieved in a company is more important than just the organization name. However, very early-stage startups that have shown little growth during the time the MBA applicant worked there are seen as less favorable feeders than better-known startups and established organizations. Adcoms benchmark the candidate's success against the growth of the organization, therefore, more credible organizations have a better record of feeding into top MBA programs.

­Hi! The organization name doesn't matter much, but the impact you have made at workplace matters. Colleges such as IITs, DTU, top colleges in each state can create that first impression, but a lot depends on how you performed in the college. If you are 9 pointer, then it's all taken care of, but if you are not then you can easily cover it with a good GMAT performance. Sharing a key insight - majority of the candidates in IIMs, ISB, or any top-college are not from IITs, DTU, or top state colleges :)

I have a 700 in GMAT. But the quantity score is 45 which is only 57 percentile. Does that mean 700 is not good enough

Sorry, I meant quant score is 45
­Hi! It can be slightly tricky because at an overall level your score is well above average, but quant score may raise eyebrows a bit. If you are confident and can take GMAT again for improving the Quant score, then nothing like it. If you can't then can you share your college acads? Plus, you can also cover it using your work experience. Can you share some details about work experience as well?

­T4Star   It completely depends on the profile. As I mentioned earlier somewhere on this thread, in the last intake, I saw some candidates with very low scores get through with some exceptional elements in their profiles. If you feel your GMAT score will carry the weight of your candidacy, target a score upwards of 685. If you feel the other areas will carry the weight of your candidacy, a score upwards of 655 is also fine.

Feel free to discuss your specific situation.

Hi Vaishali! I mentored a CA last year who was in a similar position with the same Q score, a very unbalanced score indeed and yet she made it to both IIM A and ISB. The IIM A is not so fixated on section scores, that’s more of an international MBA school thing. If you can impress them with your essays, resume and interview performance you need not worry. There are other ways to bring focus to your analytical background in an application. Feel free to speak should you need guidance

Hey! You definitely have a very good chance. IIM A and B prefer younger candidates a lot more these days coz it gets easier to place them post MBA.

It can be done later as well. At the time of taking GMAT/GRE, you get to choose 5 schools where GMAC sends your score report and it’s free.

Be calm and composed before the test day. Revise your formulas/flashcards etc. and avoid taking any mocks a day or two before the test.
