A score above 655 will be good, and anything higher will make you more competitive. Your undergrad and post grad GPA are solid and will complement the GMAT score. On the work front, it will be important to show your leadership experiences, quantifiable impact on your projects and the need for an MBA at this point in your career. Overall, your profile is strong, but it needs to be backed by a very strong application execution that brings your distinctive strengths to light.

There are many candidates from banking background in these programs. What are your post MBA goals?

Candidates from a banking background are fairly common in these programs, so that by itself shouldn’t be a concern. What would be important to clarify is your post-MBA career goals.

Overall, your profile looks impressive, but it will still need to be supported by a well-crafted application and clear narrative. From a testing standpoint, aiming for around 655 on the GMAT Focus Edition would put you in a good position for most of these programs.

Feel free to reach out in case you have any further questions.

All the best!

Yes, GMAT scores are valid for up to 5 years from the test date, so if you send your score now, it will be available for your 2026 application cycle as well. You can use the same score in subsequent years if you re-apply or if you decide to apply to multiple rounds fnf
