At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Tejas studied hard but kept repeating the same mistakes. After 3 attempts at 645, a focused 4-week strategy helped him identify and fix what was holding him back—leading to a 695 with just 12–15 hours of study per week.

Hi Gaurav,
Until you have an Official GMAT score, it would be difficult to define what your 'chances' at getting accepted to Kellogg would be. Kellogg is a highly competitive School, so beyond having a strong GMAT score, you also need a strong OVERALL profile AND you need to 'market yourself' correctly to the Program that you plan to apply to.
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) Are you planning to apply to any Schools besides Kellogg?

Hi GAURAVROONGTA,
Selecting a school and applying to it takes a lot of time and effort.
So before you apply to a school, make sure what you want to do after the MBA.
You should select the school based on various factors such as:
1. Location
2. Target industry
3. Preferred work location
Are you targeting only the 1 year programs?
Your profile can be considered for the program, because you have already done a masters degree and have enough experience.
Still i would recommend you to visit the school website to know more about the eligibility criteria.
Regarding the profile, every individual is different. Although there may be thousands of engineers in India, but each one of them can differentiate themselves in a very good fashion in the application. That is what you need to do too. The experiences and the additional education will help you for sure.
Regarding the GMAT, it is impressive that you have achieved good scores in various exams, but that is not a proxy for your success in GMAT.
GMAT consists of both Verbal and the Quants section, while you may be proficient in one section, but you need to master the other section too to score at such high level.
Have you given mock CATs? If yes, what are your scores in them?
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
