Hey everybody
I would be highly obliged if you could evaluate my profile.
DEMOGRAPHIC: 27 Years old Indian (Male)
Commerce background
GMAT
1st Attempt (September 2012) 570 Q 36 V 32 IR 5
2nd Attempt (august 2013) 600 Q 49 V 23 IR 7
3rd Attempt (December 2013) 620 Q 44 V 32 IR 5
4th Attempt (February 2015) 700 Q 47 V 39 IR 1
I am quiet shocked to see my IR score 1 in my last attempt, But as you can notice that in my previous attempts i have scored as high as 7.
So i am hoping that my shocking IR score wont be a party spoiler.
EDUCATION:
10th standard 87%
12th standard 84%
i did my graduation from University of Delhi (school of open learning)
i got my Business diploma in marketing from IMT (distance learning ) and was placed in 1ST division
WORK EXPERIENCE: 5+ years
I own a family business of whole sale trading of agricultural implements such as Submersibles, centrifugal pumps, motors, PVC pipes etc.
i have been assisting my father in his business from the age of 21,when i was a young boy, till date, when i am 27.
In all these years i have learned a lot, Maybe not more than my fellow applicants,who have worked in MN C's , But definitely not less.
cons:
Too many GMAT attempts.
pros:
progress in score in every gmat attempt
i have handled every single position that one can imagine in his/her business
such as Sales, marketing, accountancy etc
Target business schools : rotman school of management Toronto Canada
NYU stern USA
I am looking forward to pursue my MBA in finance
QUESTIONS : What programmes do you believe i should focus on ?
Are my ambitions totally off base?
Thank you so much for your time & consideration, i appreciate any guidance you can give me at this crucial moment
I would be highly obliged if you could evaluate my profile.

Hi there,
Thanks for posting. You've definitely put a lot of effort into your GMAT scores... it is good that you've seen continual improvement and I would stick with the 700. Too bad about IR but at least you have higher scores on your list yes. And the overall is still most important.
Your experience does sound strong and you've learned a lot and been exposed to a lot in your family business, so emphasize all of that, and the perspective you'll bring to a b-school class when you apply. Be sure to make it clear that why you feel you NEED the MBA and what you'll use it for in the future.
I think Rotman sounds reasonable; FYI Stern will be a reach as it's extremely selective, percentage-wise (smaller class size than some contributes to that). I think your best chances are likely outside the top 10 or so (US), though you can apply to 1-2 reach schools too of course.
Good luck and keep us posted on questions and your progress!
