Need help to choose b school ! [#permalink] New post  30 Aug 2014, 00:38
Hi GMATClubbers,

I am an Indian male with 4 years of professional experience with Infosys Limited. I recently wrote the GMAT and scored 660 (Q48 V33). I have a GPA of 3.7 in graduation. I also have several experience of leadership in sports (cricket) and musical (own band) domain.

My target schools before writing the test were NUS Singapore, Queens University (Canada), HEC Montreal and XLRI (India). These are in fact, mostly the schools I chose to send my GMAT score to on the test day.

Can anyone suggest if I stand a realistic chance in the above b-schools with my score and professional experience? If anyone can suggest any other schools in Canada or Asia, it would be greatly helpful.

Waiting eagerly for a reply.

Thanks,
Ronit.

I think you do. XLRI seems to prefer folks with more experience. You can also consider NTU, HKU(ST), and Schulich.

Thanks Prasi!!

That was motivating:) however, I was checking the respective websites for the schools you had suggested and came to learn that Nanyang and Schulich have an average GMAT score a little on the higher side (considering my score). Not sure if I would be a strong contender to earn a financial aid in that case.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Yes, getting financial assistance is not that easy. As the Round 1 deadlines of the schools are still a couple months or so away, you could consider taking the GMAT again and upping that score a bit (while you continue to work on your application). A mere 30-point increase will put you in the "zone".

Hi,

While I would say you have a pretty good score, I always like to recommend to just contact the school you are interested in applying to. Ask them what they are looking for in applicants and what the average GMAT score they look for is. While you may not be able to get this information from all of the schools, others will be more than welcome to provide it. In these cases it is best to go straight to the source. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Good luck!
