- Took the GMAT in May 2021, and scored 530, decided to take it again and apply next year.
- Took it again this week, but scored just a 600. (Likely to take it again this month before applying in the Feb-March round)
Post Master goals : After my masters, I would like to gain some corporate experience at an MNC- I don't know right now whether I would go into consulting or marketing.
I guess my question is which colleges should I target for MiM, since my GMAT score is very low, although I am confident that I can improve my score in my next attempt, and what score should I aim for?
So yeah, -
- How much should I aim for in my next GMAT attempt? and
- Which colleges fit my profile, for MiM?
P.S.: I will be applying in March - so targeting the March 30th Deadline

Hey hamzamohd,
You are right; your GMAT scores are not that great, but as you said, you are planning to give the GMAT again. Try to
aim to score 650+.
But as you are planning to apply during the March intake, I would recommend you to give your GMAT as soon as possible so that if you didn’t score enough on your GMAT there is still time to compensate for it
There are many
parameters on which your application will be evaluated:
- GPA
- Test scores (GMAT, GRE, IELTS, etc.)
- Work experience
- Essays
- CV
- Letter of Recommendation
- Interview
GMAT holds only 20% weightage of your application; hence you do not need to worry much about that.
I can see your extracurriculars, and they are pretty good. This showcases your hardworking and leadership skills. That will definitely shine in your application.
You have relevant entrepreneurial skills as well, that’s impressive.
Your GPA is pretty decent as well.
You mentioned you have been working as a marketing intern. Explain your roles and responsibilities at your organisation in your essay and SOP.
What value did you add to the organisation, how did it benefit you etc.
All this will ultimately
add value to your application. That is the primary goal, making a
strong and compelling application that makes you stand out from the hundreds of other applicants.Your end goal is to work in an MNC, I would recommend you apply to
schools in Europe as their employability rate is pretty high:
Imperial, Bocconi, EMlyon,Warwick , IE, Schulich and Bath UniversityKeeping in consideration your current GMAT scores you should also
apply to schools where GMAT isn’t required. Just to be safe.
I would say you have a pretty decent profile. All you need to do is bring out yourself and your value in your essay and SOP and draft a killer application.
