GMAT 680 (Q: 49, V:33) AWA : 4.0 ( Kindly Suggest Colleges) [#permalink] New post   21 Apr 2013, 06:51
Hi Folks,

I need help with choosing the right B school for my score.
I'm planning to apply for the class of 2014-2016 in US/ Canada. I'm interested in Finance/Marketing/Technology.
Kindly suggest some b schools to which I could apply with this score.
It'd help me in deciding whether I should take the GMAT again.

Profile:
2.5 yrs of work ex in a top IT firm in Research and Development division. Finance is the domain.
I've been a freelance web content writer for an year. (I'm clueless where I went wrong with my AWA :oops: )
Active member of a rock band
Member of a Non profit organization that promotes music and culture for an year.
I own a website where I teach music.
I have decent acads with 3.7 GPA and with extra curricular activities from sports, creative writing, and achievements like best student awards and merit certificates in sports.

Recommendations : 1 from my present Manager and 1 from Head of the department at college.


Thanks in advance.

Hi
If u want finance specialization...In US u can try UCLA...bt it will be really tough to get in..I mean this fall i have seen ppl with over 700 score getting declined. Though u have good credentials , i mean extra curricular. The weakest part f ur application is ur work ex...I mean with 2.5 year of work ex , u ll be considered amateur......
Yes u can try Candian schools...i think u hav a gr8 chance at Rottman, Toranto...It has gr8 finance specialization....
For US B schools,I would higly recommend to defer, unless u hav some plans that cant be defered...Work ex..2.5 years...is very less...Moreover u belong to a very competitive pool Indian IT male.

if u want to try...try candian schools..rottman, Mcgill, sauder etc....

Check US news ranking fr colls with specific electives that u want.

Hi Archit,

Thanks for the help :)
The points u made brings up another question. Will the university consider my present work ex or the work ex I'll be having when I join the program?... coz by the time I join the program I'll have around 3.8 yrs of work ex, which I think, is competitive enough (though below the average).


Gud question..Actually I missed this point...Mostly, Universities consider the total work ex by the time of joining. So Considering that u have 2.5 nw...u have an year fr nw fr the session to start....In that case u ll have 3.5 years...Even in that case frm work ex point of view u ll be in bottom 20% of class...fr a holistic applications all ur parameters shud falln close to avg of the class...ie ur deviation shud be minm...Moreoover remem, one thn colls shw interst in students those whose some of the application parameters are far frm the class avg, only if they find sthn else...say ur work ex is non traditional...ie u r a farmer fr example..infact there is a case of an ISb admit..he had 570 or so bt gt admitted...he was farmer and want to do sthn in Agri business post mba...so the coll can use his credential to shw diversity....Fr profile lyk urs u ll hav to think out f box fr essays...

Hope that answers
