High GRE/GPA, little work experience- what tier should I apply to?

Hi Blandman,

I completely agree with the points raised above by phlaym39.

Your score translates to a 750 on GMAT (used the ETS conversion tool). This score is quite fantastic.

But the story goes beyond the GMAT/ GRE. Every MBA out there evaluates you on a range of criteria- academic capability, career progression, impact on organization, leadership potential, overall personality development, sense of career direction- these are the key ones. You are on track for academic capability, but the other components need some more work. Delay your MBA plans by another 2-3 years, and develop those fronts.

Career direction involves not just knowing what you want from your career a few years from now, but also how the MBA will help you achieve that, and how an MBA from a particular school will help. I suggest that you read up more about individual b-schools and visit them when you can. This kind of research is required to know whether its a Stanford, HBS, CBS or another b-school.

Hope that helps,
