Hi, I am from India and I gave my GMAT just 2 days back and ended up scoring a disappointing 590 (Q49,V23). I had spent around 30-45 days to prepare for the GMAT and the preparation was mainly concentrated on Quant and improving speed.The verbal part on the GMAT was a quite a trouble during the preparation days , specially trying to keep up pace. I knew i had not prepared well enough but then i wanted to go ahead and give the exam,just to see if i could handle the pressure.Also one more prime reason , I wanted to go ahead was , I did not want to rule myself out of the chances to apply for the January deadlines that most univ's have.
What i intend to do now is to use this GMAT score coupled with the application and try to get an admit. I am planning to retake my GMAT again in November and if the scores improve , then use the new scores for further applications.
My profile :
GMAT 590 (Q49,V23)
TOEFL 105
Class X : 87% , Class Xii (80%)
Bachelor of Engineering in Computer : Overall 62%, with a final year %age of 70
WE : 5 years 4 months with a French MNC employing over 50000 people. I started out my career in the technical domain. But in the last 3 years, i have been involved more in the project management cycles. During this time, my role has been to chair client meetings,conduct appraisals for younger staff,resource management, lead transitions, work on the budgets for project delivery, groom youngsters and be completely responsible for project delivery. I am currently at level 4 out of a possible 11 levels of performance that my company offers. To summarize,i could say I have been working as a psuedo Lead(but , does pseudo have any importance?)
I have been googling around the net for the last 2 days in search of universities that take similar scores but it hasn't led me anywhere. Currently the
universities which i have in mind are : Manchester Business School, Warwick, Mannheim Business School, Mays Texas.
Do I stand a chance in any of these schools? Also it would be great if you could suggest schools that have a good placement record and accept this score. I
would like to secure an admit and then plan ahead
