Hi Gurus/ Exparts,
I am an Engg. + MBA graduate with having 10 years of experience. Did my Engg & MBA from Tier 3 collages in India.
My scores are as follows,
10th: 74%
10+2: 63.7%
BE: 65%
MBA: 66%
I have some questions:
1. Is my profile suitable for IIM A/B/C/ISB?
2. How much GMAT score is required for getting calls/ interviewed by them?
3. I am more interested in 1 year MBA program as I did earlier MBA 2 year fulltime, and looking for scholarship from Europe collages and as I know getting a job from UK collages after MBA is very tuff for Indian students (Jude- Cambridge/ Oxford)
4. If I will choose 2 year MBA from Good collages (Chicago Booth/ MIT/ Darden/ etc…) in USA how much score I required for getting admission with good scholarship?
5. Do you think I can get at least 50- 60% scholarship in good collages? If I will get the scholarship, then what score is required for that?
Thanks in advance .....waiting for your reply soon.......
Hi there,
GMAT is not the only criteria for selecting a candidate. With just a quick search in this forum you can find amazing posts on this issue. However, top business schools do need higher GMAT score if your profile falls into the average category. If you do not have anything in your profile to distinguish yourself from other Indian candidates, then yes GMAT becomes an important factor. You may check out the average gmat scores on each school's website or on ranking websites (link below). But it can be easily said that you need a score north of 700 to get in and much higher for scholarships.
Couple of pointers:
1. if you are above 35 years of age (as your work ex suggests) you need to check individually the policy of each school before applying for full time MBA. Better yet to target executive MBA instead.
2. Having already graduated from an MBA you need to beware of the policy on this issue too. Ask adcoms if they are ok with you pursuing a second MBA.
3. Work on other aspects of your profile too such as community service, resume, essays, etc.
