Hello All

I want to apply for Berkeley Haas PT (first preference) or Anderson FE MBA (2nd preference). I do know that my profile is of an Indian IT Male so higher score is better. But I am not sure how much I can improve in next 30-45 days in order to be ready for Round 1.

Based on below information please provide your feedback about my chances and whether I should think seriously about GMAT - 3rd attempt or instead work on my application?

Below is my Test/Education/Work Ex. summary:

TOEFL - Feb 02,2013 109 [R:29 L:30 S:23 W:27]

Education:
MS (Software Engineering) - 2007,from BITS Pilani India, 7.98 CGPA
Bachelor of Computer Applications - 2003, from Gujarat University 91% (Top 24th in University)

Work Ex - Full Time ERP Software Consultant, Team Leader, Onsite-Offshore coordination
Paid Internship (40 hrs a week) along with MS - 2003-2007
India - 2007-2008
US - 2008 - Current

Extra Curricular:

Frequently participated and won General Knowledge Quiz contests during my school & college days.
Organized and MC'd Quiz contest in college annual function
