I just gave my GMAT today and left the test center disappointed with a score of 650 (Q48 V30).
While I'm gutted with the score and hope to give another attempt in a month's time, i wanted to know what my chances are with the following Business schools. I've found it really hard to get any candid advice from my searches on linkedin and must confess that i'm a bit of a novice on this front.
The business schools i'm targeting are :-
1. Rotman
2. Ivey Business School
3. Schulich
4. UBC Sauders
My Profile is as follows :-
1. Nationality/Gender: Indian/Male
2. Age: 25
3. Work Exp: 43 months in Deloitte USI.
4. GPA: 3.58 from VIT Vellore(CGPA 8.95), India
5. GMAT Score: 650 (Please advise on what would be a competitive score for my next attempt).
6. Notable work based achievements: Promoted to Consultant role. Received four awards thus far for my good job in projects, working with Clients in Fortune 500.
7. Notable leadership roles: Currently leading a team of 15 in delivering a project based on Smart Factory.
Former Board member in the NGO where i was working.
8. 7. Community Service: Yes, 2 years during UG.
Any feedback would be helpful. Please let me know if you require additional details.
Thanks,
K

Hi MKKrishnan,
I think your profile is decent, given your undergraduate school + CGPA + Deloitte. A higher GMAT Score will definitely help you out, but it also depends a lot on how you prepare for the rest of your application. I recently got a person with a GMAT 630 and with not such a strong background as yours into UBC Sauders. Reach out to me for further discussion.
Good luck!

Thankfully, as you know, GMAT scores for Canadian MBA programs are, on average, lower than Europe and the US.
This third party did a good job of posting average GMAT scores to give you a sense for how your current 650 stacks up against these schools:
https://e-gmat.com/blogs/top-business-s ... in-canada/
But...since you are an Indian male, you probably need to add 30 points to those averages to account for the competition in your demographic.
However...GMAT score isn't everything. You clearly have a well-rounded profile. The only area that slightly concerns me is the perceived limited ECs. Do you spend a lot of time focused on your NGO and community service? If so, you should be nicely positioned here.
Kindly reach out to us if you'd like to discuss further and think you would benefit from having a consultant by your side in this process: https://admissionado.com/free-consultation/
