Hey, I am planning to take GMAT soon. Depending upon my scores, I am planning to apply to LBS and CBS. If you don’t mind, can you help me with that in a couple of months? I really need to work on the scholarship part as well. It would be great if you are comfortable in sharing your linkedin so we can connect.

Hey viditg,

You have a strong GPA, however your GMAT score would be slightly below median for both the schools that you have shortlisted. Since you belong to the overrepresented demographic, would advice you to think about improving the GMAT by a couple of points or thinking about another set of solid schools that dominate the Technology recruitment. Since Big-tech overall doesn't factor in your GMAT during the recruitment process (unlike Consulting and some banks), you can think about some solid options closer to the Tech hubs of Seattle, Bay Area which will prove to be an advantage during the recruiting process. There are some other schools which will do a better job on Tech recruitment than Duke Fuqua, although Ross is a very solid option for Product Management.
Overall the Tech Risk Consulting profile is pretty decent and will enable a smooth transition into a PM role with a large technology company from a skillset and experience point of view. Just focus a little harder on selecting the right set of schools and putting in a solid application.

All the best! Do feel free to reach out at [email protected] if you have any further queries / questions.

Thanks a ton for your comments. I actually have 2 exit plans in mind: Tech or Consulting. I checked the median GMAT for both Duke and Ross and I believe I'm right at the median score as of now. I agree I'm from an overrepresented demographic but I am first generation college student. Would you be able to recommend other schools that I should target?

Median GMAT score usually doesn't cut it for Indian students as there is an expectations of higher scores from an overrepresented demographic. Fuqua is pretty solid for Finance and Consulting, outside the above your should think about schools like Tepper, Anderson, McCombs, Marshall all of whom have really good tech recruitment although their consulting recruitment maybe a notch below the likes of Ross and Fuqua.
