Hey All,
i am new user to gmatclub and found it very informative. Guess i had researched on it before my GMAT :(

Need help on profile eval - 710 (Q 49, V 38), have ~6 years of experience across US, UK, China, India - did 1 yr stint in US in IBanking, rest 5 years in M&A advisory (largely India). Need thoughts on colleges i should target with this experience and score...looking for top tier colleges - no location pref. (US, EU, Canada, Asia), short / long term goal to be in Ibanking or MC - develop on M&A and broader Fin. Services experience.

Hi there, I'm going to guess that your grades are okay (nothing detrimental). If you're looking for IB, look at Wharton, Booth, Duke. If you're looking for consulting, look at Tuck, Darden, and Ross.

Hey there, thanks for ur reply. Yes, my undergrad grades are pretty decent. my only concern is with 710 should i be even lookin at Wharton/ Booth!
Even if i plan to go after 6-7 colleges - Wharton, Booth, Ross - having hard time 3-4 from remaining all...most of rankings / blogs are even more consuming: NYU Stern, Darden, Tuck, Tepper, Duke, Austin, Cornell, Marshall,Chapel Hill, and whole Canadia pack (Rotman, Richard Ivey etc)
How do i pick 3-4 from the list above! Few are closer to NY others are in BofA, Wells territory...how do i eliminate from these?

There's no reason to shy away from Booth or Wharton with a 710. A GMAT score like yours is in the running for any school. As most others would agree, once you get pass that 700 mark, you're in the running; the decision to admit you will be based on your other part of the application. In terms of how to pick 3 or 4 schools out of the list, that really is a personal choice. Have you visited the schools yet? If not and you're not planning to, just go with your gut and with what research you have about them and decide. Do you like more city settings or more rural settings? Do you enjoy doing a whole bunch of casework? Do you want to be in a class of 800 or a class of 300? These are, of course, rhetorical questions that you'll have to answer for yourself. Some people care about where they study and there are others who want to be in a smaller class setting. This is all personal and you're going to have to make these final decisions for yourself.
