I gave the GMAT first time around and scored a 660(q43v38). Retook within a month and scored a 750 (q49v42).
A little about my self:
Pakistani from top business school in the country.
Majoring in Economics and Political Science.
1) Last semester in College. Still haven't been recruited on Campus.
Multiple reasons: goofed off, engaged in activities I wouldn't put under Extra-currics for all 3 years.
Result: Next to no leadership experience and a 2.5 GPA as of now with Cs in my major courses. Max I can do is TRY to bring that up to a final 2.6, MAYBE a 2.7 if I do REALLY well this semester. Is it worth the effort or should I focus that effort on getting into a name brand company via networking etc?
2) Had an epiphany because of an event that led to something i'm not proud of so I decided to take the GMAT....
Studied Hard.. scored High.
3) Want to make serious money. Still not sure about career paths but i'm 'business minded' if that even means anything now a days.
4) Strong sports background especially in Sailing. Visited a few countries because of it.
My questions are what should my career path be. I'm interested in consulting type work because I consider myself a generalist because I combine deep research and a multi disciplinary approach to problem solving. Mckinsey recruits on campus in a month or so but my CV is probably not going to get short listed for a lack of GPA and leadership experience, though I have done a few internships in summer.
What industry should I go for if I want to enter a top MBA program? If I don't get a top name brand job offer, should I continue studying by applying for a MS, knowing that given my grades chances of getting into a decent program are low? Whats going on in my mind is that doing better in an MS may improve my JOB/MBA prospects?
any help is appreciated
thanks
