Question

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday!

I have a score of 700 in the GMAT. I am a graduate from one of the NITs with over 4 years of experience in the management consulting industry. My undergrad gpa is 8.03 and class XII percentage is 97.

I also have a couple of certificates under my name for organising music fests in college. Also, I have a patent for a social cause that I would like to highlight as well.

I wanted to get an opinion on the best colleges I can target with this profile.

Thanks in advance!

Hi As17798,
We have said this many times earlier.
From my large set of professional data-points, you do have a shot at T20 Progs. The 4 years is just right as for your WE period, though it really matters HOW you highlight your professional accomplishments. The moderate ECs may be a dampener, although what I have observed that we as Indians often downplay our ECs, though we have many. Apart from a very strong Resume, you will also need Career Goals that show clarity of thought, and strong LORs. Contextually, what most of my clients thought was a strong resume and powerful LORs, have needed to be redesigned from scratch.

Finally, all the above said and done, the GMAT score is one of the important factors for your Admission Application Decisions, but please understand, it is JUST ONE of the important factors. It's a major mistake to think that any good advice can come through providing the above limited information only, and even bigger a blunder to lose out on the excellent opportunities you could have access to, by applying without submitting a less than powerful application.

Hi,
You have a competitive profile and target some Top 20 schools. Ensure that you balance your school selection well, with some safe schools also under consideration, for best results.

Hello  As17798 ,

Thanks for writing in.

The information provided by you is very limited in terms of your goals, your achievements, and your overall profile. Thus, basing the evaluation only on GMAT score and years of experience will not be the best possible approach. Nonetheless, broadly you should be targetting the US top ~30 schools. This will also give you opportunities for scholarships.

Good luck!

As17798 : Can you give us a bit more color on how you want to go about selecting your schools? The others here (who are excellent folks!) are suggesting US T30. No doubt that could be in the works. However, what do YOU want? Are you looking exclusively at the US or other geographic areas? What kind of programs are you targeting? 2-year MBA? Do you want to be in an urban or campus environment? What do you want to study? How important is class size? While ranking/brand is an important consideration, fit is arguably more important. The more information you can share, the easier it is for us to help you put together a list that will be well-fitting for you.
