he best s

Please evaluate my profile for IIM A PGPX and suggest min GMAT FE score I should aim for.
I have done B.Tech from NIT.. working in a top mining n manufacturing firm for 5 yrs in india ...
UG CGPA: 8.2
XII: 94%
X: 10 CGPA. (95%)
Currently in Middle management level, 1 promotion, top performer for past 2 years. Have experience in Operations management, contract management. improvement initiatives, Enterprise Risk management. Lean six sigma certification. Have significant contributions to several impactful projects of company. Company cricket team captain, won several tournaments. Fitness enthusiast, have really inspiring story related to my fitness journey. Keen interest in singing, swimming etc..

isn’t GMAT FE 645 equivalent to GMAT classic 700? isn’t 645 GMAT FE good score to apply to IIM A PGPX with this profile?

It would be a decent score to try with and not the best foot forth for a highly competitive program.

Hi All,
I've got an admit into IIMA PGPX in R2.
I've used the guidance from Admit Ready team, and Tridisha(@tridisha1) & Rahul have been of great help throughout the process, both during the review of essays/application and the interview process. I would highly recommend them without any hesitation.

Special shout-out on their efforts for extempore and the interview prep for IIM A, where they've made sure all perspectives were covered well prior to the interview date, which helped me immensely during the actual extempore with the professors on D-day.

For those shortlisted in R1/R2- I called the admissions office to check status of waitlists. They informed that they have not updated waitlists for any round yet, and will only do so after R3 results are announced, so around Jan end-Mid Feb.
