Hi Abhinav_1630, thanks for writing in. That's a little tricky to answer - what are your goals, and are you looking for US MBA programs or would you look at others outside the US? Your low verbal will be pretty tough to overcome, why can't you do the test again? That's a pretty good AWA, so I'd hope for a better score. I'd strongly recommend a retake!! Also, your Toefl is important, as different schools have minimum requirements. I'd consider your goals and then check your results vs. the usual profile in the class, that should give you an idea of where you stand. Good luck!!

Hi Abhinav_1630,

As you probably noticed from my response, somehow I missed that this was an MS Finance evaluation. Apologies - our familiarity is stronger with the MBA programs. I'm afraid I'm not versed enough in all the different MS Finance programs out there - we do help applicants with applications for programs they've selected, but I wouldn't know enough about the many different programs that I think your question would require.

My advice is to figure out what programs have the best recruiting into your target jobs, and best ROI, and then start comparing your profile with what they publish for their class. Use your GMAT/GPA as a benchmark to select schools for the reach/target/safety assessment, though if you are perhaps in an overrepresented category, you might add more safety schools than reaches.

I do think a test retake is likely to be extremely helpful. Best of luck to you!
