Hey!
I'm an applicant from Delhi, India applying in round 2 ( as I had not given the TOEFL )...
As I was registering for TOEFL, I found that there is no department- 02 for IU (School code- 1324)... Can somebody with a successful report of TOEFL to Kelley guide me as which department to choose? There is no department with code 02 in humanities, social sciences, etc..


I used the following details and my score was reported successfully.

INDIANA U BLOOMINGTON
Department: Graduate Management
BLOOMINGTON , IN, 47405

I selected 'Any department not listed' option and my score report was delivered without any problem

Rakesh, I think you should compare yourself with the class profile of the class matriculating in 2013.

What you have mentioned is just numbers. There is more to it. Your complete application would determine your chances. So although you have just 1 year of work ex as of now, but you can back it up with a real solid application. Think about it.

Yes, check out the previous pages. A few people have received interview invites, others opted to interview before the applications.

Puneethpjl,

Thanks a lot....but I would like to know how to shortlist the colleges based on our score.
If it was only the GMAT score, its easy to do it just by checking out the average score of the class. Since, its more than just that score I would like to know how to shortlist them.
consider that I have a fairly good backing of my score ......what now ?

GMAT is an important aspect yes, its one of the few universal criteria that can be quantified. A 650 might be slightly lower than average for Indians (although as a female, u do have a diversity plus). The whole application package is important, though. Not to make light of your query but this is like a short guy asking on a pick up forum whether he should wear high heeled shoes to pick up women. Sure, height is an obvious and easily comparable parameter and an important one, but short guys get laid too...if their personality is good enough, they're suave enough etc. Your GMAT is similar to the height and your essays, experience etc is akin to the personality. It will be harder with a 650 score, but if ur able to craft your essays well and impress in the interview, you do have a chance. That being said, there's still time for you to attempt a retake if you think focussed study can improve your score a bit. If you can, then by all means reattempt the gmat. If not, its time to start working on your story. May the force be with you.

I am also a Kelley re-applicant. A friend of mine who runs a MBA consulting firm told me that re-applicants are not considered the same way as first timers i.e. we are the last priority (Personally, i am not sure how true this is). But, considering the number of invites that have gone out from Kelley, even i have started to lose hope.

But, best of luck to those have been invited.

"I had a convert last year" ... You mean you were admitted and could not afford full fees ?

Rakeshk24,

Sorry for the late reply. Had been busy lately with my apps.
Anyways I guess you should take the average class GMAT and add 20-30 points to get to the Indian pool average. See where you stand against it. The bigger the difference, the harder it is gonna be. Because although u can submit a strong application, but GMAT could well turn out to be a deterrent, particularly if you are looking for scholarships. Plus, dont take me wrong but the whole applicant pool is competitive in one way or the other. Everybody is unique in their own way (provided they project it properly). So here, probably you need to be a , lets say, national level swimmer etc. The point here is (if you have seen '21'), do you have anything that can DAZZLE the adcom?

Anyways, are you looking for scholarships or you can afford the tuition. If you want a schol, add another 10-20 in the GMAT. :-D Life's a b***h.
I am not sure what you want to pursue as a STG (it plays an important role in school selection), but with a score like 650, 5 universities that come to my mind are University of Southern California (Marshall), Georgia Institute of Technology (Scheller), Ohio State University (Fisher), University of Minnesota–​Twin Cities (Carlson) & University of Washington (Foster) . Just a very vague idea. I hope my reply addresses your question.

All the best,
Puneet
