Hello Folks,
I took my GMAT last year and scored a 620
(Q41, V34, AWA 5). I couldn't prepare well last time mostly because of irregularities in my preparation schedule and timings at work.
I wish to reattempt the GMAT considering this as my last chance, as I am already 32.
Please suggest which schools (US/CAN) should I target considering my average profile and age( schools with higher average age) and what should be my target score.
I am open to joining a classroom course (2/3 months) if someone can suggest me a good institute (I live in Bangalore).
I would be interested in One Year MBA/ MS Analytics/ MIS over regular Two year MBA unless I get a better school with some scholarship.
My profile:
Indian IT Male
Work ex : 7 Yrs with Tata Consultancy Services
B. Tech in IT : 70.2 %
10th/12th : 81%/ 76%
Startup Experience (Launching a Pilot soon)
Please advise on how to prepare and which schools to target.
Do I still have time to appear for GMAT and apply for Jan,2017 Intake?

Hi saurav171,
The process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School will require a big investment of time, money and energy on your part, so you really should make sure that the Programs that you apply to match your career goals/needs. There are a variety of factors that go into selecting the Schools that you'll apply to. Instead of just applying to Programs in which you might have a good chance to 'get in', here are some other things to think about:
1) Is there a particular company that you want to work for or industry that you want to work in? Certain degrees are more appropriate than others if you have a specific career goal.
2) What do you want your MBA to do for you?
3) Do you want to go to School full-time or part-time?
4) Are you willing to relocate? Are you comfortable with working through a program that is primarily online?
5) Are you going to be applying for scholarships?
Etc.
It sounds like you already have some idea as to the type of Program that you're looking for, so I suggest that you start 'Googling' some of these ideas and do some research. Once you have a list of Schools that match your needs, you can then get a better sense of the type of GMAT score that you would need to be a competitive applicant and the application deadlines that exist. Once you have those numbers in mind, we can then define your score goal and talk about how best to study going forward.
