Thanks a lot guys.See I have so many positive points:
1.Diverse Industry- With absolute latest technologies,with big Telecom Giants like Motorola,Lucent,Ericsson,Alcatel
2.Very solid work history.
3.7 years of work experience in India, Saudi Arabia,United States.
4.Not looking for a career change but a transition from technical to techno commercial career.
5.Affiliations with charitable organisations,member of PMI.
6.Executive Program from Indian Institute of Management,Calcutta
7.Attended the info session at Westchester Campus just to let NYU know a bit about me (as I read in earlier posts)-Also got the application refund.
8.Very good recommendations- I got one from my CEO as well.
9.Recommendation from New York University Professor.
Negative ones are pretty less in comparison:
1.Ofcourse Indian origin is a negative factor as NYU always looks out for diversities.
2.Secondly, being a techie again is a negative factor (though I'm not an IT professioal)
3.Less GMAT but not bad -good quants.
Where do you guys think I lack so much that NYU will not give me consideration?But again,you never know.I shall have to keep my fingers crossed.
If you made sure to outline all of these points in your application, I don't think it is too far fetched to allow for a possibility that NYU will overlook your low GMAT score. So, don't give up just yet!
As a point of reference, on BW forum, a female from India with 780 GMAT and 12 years of IT experience was waitlisted last week. So, as you can see, high GMAT score does not automatically get you admitted.
