I suppose he's talking about CBT Toefl... 270/300 is an exceptionally high score.

I'm not able to evaluate the profile because I'm not familiar with MBA admissions, but rather with PhD admissions. If he were a Phd aspirant he would have a quite good profile.

I have a question about the relationship between MBA and Phd. A strong Phd candidate is also a strong MBA candidate? Or the two admission processes are strongly different?


Good point about the CBT - didnt think of that.

I am doing my engineering in Information Technolgy from INDIA.I am in fourth and final year of my college.I want to do MBA right after passing out of my college.For this I have also taken GMAT and TOEFL.But the main hurdle which i see is that i do not have any full time work experience.Although I have a part time work work experience of about 22 months and have also completed my Internship from HCL Technologies.
I want you to please review my profile.


GMAT ----- 690

TOEFL ----- 270

GPA ----- 3.3 or 3.4

EXTRA CURRICULAR --------

HEAD BOY IN SCHOOL AND PRESIDENT OF CULTURAL SOCIETY IN MY COLLEGE, ALSO I HAVE WON ABOUT 50 to 60 CERTIFICATES IN VARIOUS SPORTS AND EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITES HELD IN SCHOOL AND COLLEGE LEVEL

ALSO I HAVE A PART TIME WORK EXPERIENCE OF 22 MONTHS

COMPLETED INTERNSHIPS


please tell my chances in the following universities---

1. Carnegie Mellon

2. Rochester

3. Pennsylvania State University

4. Washington University in St. Louis

5. UC irvine

6. UC Davis


PLease tell my chances in each of these universities quantitatively.I would be highly obliged.


akhileshbhatti,

Here is the percentage of the entering class of each school that had one year or less of working experience:

Rochester: 57%
UC Davis: 13%
CMU: 10%
Wash.: 9%
PennSt.: 6%
UCIrvine: 5%

When you factor in their average GMAT scores with your GMAT, I think your odds of admission are decent at Rochester, Penn State, and Washington and not very good at CMU, UCI, and UCDavis. The key for you will be explaining in a compelling way why you *need* the MBA now, showing that you have an unusual amount of leadership for someone your age, and be demonstrating that you are savvy and mature about career choices (e.g., by referring to all the people in industry you've spoken with about your career plans).

Good luck,
