Hey guys, going to get straight into it:
Age: 24M Indian
GMAT FE: 625 (83 %ile) ~ 680-690 standard edition
Work Experience: 3 years upon joining the program (Jul 2022 - Present) at a boutique institutional broking firm catering to A-list FII clients. Started off as an analyst and then took up additional responsibilities of dealing and sales.
Bachelors: 7.44/10 CGPA (B.A. Economics and Finance | 2019-2022) - A very average private university in India.
I will probably write the gmat again but was wondering what schools I can send this 625 score to? MBA and MSc. Finance is what I was looking at mainly. Considered the MSc. Finance at LSE and also quite curious about my chances at Columbia and Booth (Masters in finance programs there too) because for sure wont get into an MBA at a M7 with this score.
Hi
sid_darth5,
Given your GMAT score of 625, while respectable, it might be challenging to gain admission to the most selective programs like Columbia and Booth (especially for their highly competitive Masters in Finance programs).
However, your work experience at a boutique institutional broking firm is a significant strength.
With your current score, you can focus on Indian business schools such as ISB and other European international schools. You hold a strong position for masters across leading European schools. However, we'll help you finalise the list once we understand your requirements and goals.
Key Considerations:
Retake the GMAT: As mentioned earlier, retaking the GMAT and aiming for a score above 700 is highly recommended to significantly improve your chances at top-tier programs.
Focus on your Application: Craft compelling essays that highlight your unique experiences, career goals, and fit with the program. Secure strong letters of recommendation.
Explore Scholarships: Research scholarship opportunities at your target schools to make the program more affordable.
