Hi,
I am an Indian female with engineering degree, and have worked for 2.6 years (2 years full time and 6 month internship) as an analyst, in a consultancy firm.
I started with my GMAT preparation in May'19, and was planning to give my test by September, so that I can apply for 2020 intake; as by that time my work ex would be a little >3 years, and since I had a good career trajectory (including: early promotion, appreciation award), I hoped to get into colleges like ISB, if I can manage a decent score on the GMAT.
But, due to some personal reasons, I had to quit my job to be at home for 3 months (From June'19).
Since my preparation got a little off in this duration, should I consider not going back to work, instead put my full focus on GMAT and applications for successful round 2 apply? Will I still have a chance at MBA 2020 intake with just 2 years of experience, and an year gap, if I manage a decent GMAT score. Or should I instead apply for MiM courses?
I understand the post include a lot of questions, but any kind of info/suggestions would be great help.
Thanks

Hi jimar,
You're asking about a couple of different subjects, so we should break all of this down into pieces. First, for Admissions questions - including how a 'gap' in your Work Experience might impact your applications - you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
As far as your GMAT studies are concerned, before I can offer you any advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) When was the last time you took a CAT/mock and how have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
3) What is your goal score?

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I will surely put my query in suggested thread.
As for GMAT preparation, I have solved through quant review and verbal review, and am currently working on OG. I gave an official mock around a month back, and got 650 (Q48,V32), and I am aiming to improve this score to 730. I am having difficulty mainly in SC and RC section, any suggestion in those area would be really helpful, as there are so many resources/books available, that it's confusing.
Thanks
