Hi All,

I am an Indian male, non-engineer

GMAT: 730 Q50 V40

Profile: I am a qualified Chartered Accountant (equivalent to US CPA). Have 4 years of work experience in consulting, tax advisory, accounts and audit. I worked with Ernst and Young for 2 years and I am currently leading my own firm.

Academics:
Junior high (Xth) - school topper
High school (XIIth) - 90.6%
Undergrad - Ist Division
Professional Qualification - Chartered accountant

Request a profile evaluation for NYU Stern. Is 730 less for applying to Stern as an Indian applicant?

It's a good score, more than the class average and you have non-engineering background and worked for EY, so you have a very good chance.

Not sure if 10th and 12th scores matter though, where do they go in the application? Do people normally add those in the resume?

Hi, I know an Indian female engineer who got into NYU Stern with 100% scholarship with 730. Not much extra curriculars but she wrote some really strong essays. Make sure you do the same. Good luck!

Hi McViey,

Your profile seems good for Stern. 730 is a good score and your non-engineering background should help you. On the surface, your work-ex looks great with the name of EY in your profile and then you started your own firm. Let me tell you this, GMAT is an important aspect but contrary to the popular opinion, it can not be a deal-breaker. If you have a strong profile and a stronger application, you are good to go. We have candidates with scores in the range of 600s who got into LBS. Try reading this low gmat success story, it may help you get a better perspective. So, if you have a strong application to present, you really stand a great chance at Stern. If you'd like, we are happy to hop on a call with you to discuss your profile at length and try to guide you better. Feel free to book a free session with us as per your convenience.

Cheers!
