Hi everyone, I am an IIT Graduate from 2020, I have 4 years of experience in tech & engineering with MNCs and startups. I am looking for top B-schools in UK and US, a few in India. My biggest concern is how to filter university based on the overall profile and GMAT score. It is tough as there aren’t any set benchmarks to this. Its tough to short list and categories as to which universities would be easy to get, moderate and which one would be out of range. Any help here would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
apoorv97,
Thank you for your question!
Given your robust background as an IIT graduate with substantial experience in both multinational corporations and startups, you are well-positioned for admission into top business schools.
Coming to GMAT and School Selection:
Being an Indian tech person for top B-schools, ideally, aiming for a GMAT score around the 710+ mark can make you competitive for most top-tier programs.
Categorizing Schools: Schools can generally be divided into three tiers based on your chances and their selectivity:
- Dream Schools: These are top-tier schools where admission is highly competitive. Examples might include Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton in the US, and INSEAD and London Business School in the UK. For these programs, your profile and GMAT score need to be exceptionally strong.
- Target Schools: Based on your profile and expected GMAT scores, these schools are well within reach. Schools like Duke, Cornell, and Yale in the US or Oxford and Cambridge in the UK could be considered here. Your chances are good, but success is not guaranteed.
- Safety Schools: These are schools where your chances of admission are high. They might not be as prestigious as your dream or target schools, but they still offer excellent educational and networking opportunities. Examples might include business schools ranked slightly lower but still reputable.
For each category of schools, firstly, your GMAT score should be close to or above to the average GMAT of the last/current class profile of the b-school you are targeting.
Also, You can use free tools like the FREE AI Profile Evaluation tool to understand where you stand in the competition and help get a tailored list of B-schools based on your current profile.
