Done with GMAT. Need help with next steps. [#permalink] New post   22 Nov 2020, 06:53
Hello,
I know this is the general forum, so may not be the correct place. Admins, please bear with me.

So, I am done with the GMAT. From a cold score of 490 to a 710 (Q49 V37) on my first attempt with 2 months of study. So, pretty stoked about it.

I want to apply to Round 2 this year for IIM A/B/C. I don't want to risk it and want to be absolutely sure about my application essays and interviews. I also have a full-time job (5yrs work ex), so I need advice from the forum members to crack this one. Is there any related forum where I can get help/advice focussed on applications and interview prep?

I am also open to waiting out this year and applying to Round 1 next year. Since classes are still online and with no international immersion this year, I am a little apprehensive. What do you guys think?

Perhaps one of the business school sub-forums may be more helpful. Gratz on the 700+

Hi hopefulmba2021,

First off, a 710/Q49 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Since you're looking for application advice, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Hey hopefulmba2021,

First of all, congrats on significant improvement from 490 to 710. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to improve your score by more than 200 points in 2 months. I understand that you do not want to compromise with your applications and B-schools after putting in so much of effort for your GMAT. We can definitely help you out with that. There are a few questions I would need to ask before suggesting you the entire process and narrowing down the schools. So, you can get in touch with me using the below link to discuss the same.
