UG - 3.7 in ECE From india (GITAM univ)
and MS - 3.67 in EE From US

I have a work experience of 8 years mostly concentrated in data analytics and reporting. work experience - 50% consulting and 50% Full time. 80% of the time i worked in Finance industry and I am considering to do my MBA in Finance or consulting.

I am giving my GMAT in April.

Please suggest what will be ideal GMAT score I need to target to get into top 20 US B schools. For candidates from India a good rule of thumb is to shoot for at least 30 points OVER the avg listed GMAT for that School. So if UNC Kenan-Flagler has an avg GMAT of 700-- shoot for 730. And here are a few tips for you to consider as an international applicant:

and also some tips specifically for India:
https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... ram-india/
https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... p-profile/

From practice tests i am able to get V34 M45. Planning to spend at least 3 hours every day for gmat prep and I am thinking i will improve in the coming 2 months of preparation.
Success is about far more than the GMAT-- so don't think it is just a score-- work hard on your application, essays and overall profile too.

Thank you all in advance.
