MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hello Gmat Club,
I wanted to take an advice on B-School Applications for R2. This was my 4th attempt (600,610,650,690). I have done everything i could do to increase my verbal score but unfortunately it is not happening. I have decided to conclude my GMAT prep journey now. It will be not fair on me if i keep investing more energy, emotions & money on the prep. I wanted your help to guide me on my next steps. Should i apply for schools in R2. If yes, what should be my target schools as per the GMAT score and my profile. Sharing my profile and entire GMAT journey below: -
In my 3rd attempt (650 - Q50,V28), i thought i will give it a shot in R3 and i applied to 4 schools
1. UCSD - Rady School of Management: I received an admission offer from UCSD with a $65,000 scholarship, but i skipped it.
2. Georgetown University - McDonough School of Business: I received a waitlist decision letter at first then got denial letter
3. McCombs School of Business: I received a denial decision letter.
4. USC Marshall: I received a denial decision letter.
My profile : - I am from India, a male engineer who graduated in 2018 from IIT Delhi. I have a total of 5+ years of experience (age 28) . I have worked with Deloitte, upGrad and few other indian startups some of which are unicorns now. Over the past 5 years of my professional career, I have successfully conceptualized and launched multiple products from 0 to 1 catering to different target-audiences. My invaluable experience and skills in New Product Development, Project Management, Strategy & Operations and most important making data-driven decisions have helped me in becoming a collaborative team leader. I have led expansion of products & services in both domestic & international markets. I am concerned about the placements prospects post my MBA from the schools i will be applying at 690 score. Also i am very keen to start my MBA journey in 2024.
Let me know what are your thoughts.

RRbti, sorry to note things didn't turn out better. A few thoughts on your profile evaluation and plans.
Hope this helps some and sparks the right questions. Feel free to reach out on below email for a more detailed discussion.
- The academic arc looks interesting given the IIT pedigree. How was your GPA? The score is alright but of course, one can add 20-30 points to a given school's average to get a sense of the Indian GMAT average. I know you would be done and dusted, but we've some in your situation experiment with the GRE and work wonders. The score can limit the way your profile should be achieving its potential.
- The basic work profile sounds promising. The number of employers make me feel that there might be a change one too many? Frequent job changes don't necessarily bode well so make sure to contextualize them well. What are your post-MBA plans?
- Top schools value extracurricular and volunteer efforts. Anything there?
- For reasons mentioned here, we don't speculate on school selection or chances. Do this wisely and carefully, even if you don't do the GRE.
