Hi guys,
I took the GMAT on Dec 15 ,scored a 680 , Q46, V37.
This was after 3 months of prep. Its according to my expectations but I fell short of time for my verbal prep.
My GMAT prep scores were as follows:
1. PREP 1- 670 (Q49, V33)
2. PREP 2 - 680 (Q 47, V35)
3. PREP 3 - 670 ( Q 49, V33)
4. PREP 4 - 640( Q46, V31) --- Didnt sleep properly.
A brief Intro :
A 35 year old male from India who has been a part of few startups in the renewable energy sector and also in the mechanical
field of Fittings , flanges, Pipe fittings ,contract work. However I wish to shift careers at this point since I feel that the future prospects in Mechanical and renewable energy sectors is not what I see myself doing in the next decade.
Target areas to work post the MBA:
1. Artificial Intelligence - Sales/ Marketing Management.
2. Deep Learning - Same as above
3. Virtual Reality.
4. Volkswagen/ merc/ BMW.- General management/ Marketing.
5. Tech related( marketing management)
........
You could also suggest a few areas after looking at my CV.
Target countries would countries where I could work for atleast 5 years post MBA.
I am thinking on the lines of UK/ Germany/Canada ,etc ( open to suggestions)
Also Since I am already 35 years old ,looking for only 1 year MBA's
IMD, WHU, Mannheim, Frankfurt business school , etc - What do you think my chances are getting into them ?
The aim of the MBA is to secure a job in the destination country . Kindly suggest courses where the career services are top notch.
Courses where we can secure maximum funding will be preferred.
Do I need to take the GMAT again?
Guys, thanks in advance.
Warm regards

aniriddha - congratulations on scoring a 680. It is a really good score and should be sufficient for many German schools (and even for IMD).
Typically scholarships are awarded students who have higher GMAT scores. Hence, I would recommend that you work on improving that GMAT score. Note, you may apply to a school with your current GMAT score and then send an updated GMAT score to the same school. I have seen many schools accept updated GMAT scores. Please see the example(s) below.

Case Study: From being Waitlisted at 710 to getting Scholarships at 750
Ayush applied to ROSS with 710. He had a good application, and a really good interview. Yet he was waitlisted. When he reached out to the Adcom, they told him that a 710 was too low for an Indian applicant. Ayush then worked on his GMAT and send his updated GMAT score. He not only received an admit but was also awarded a scholarship. Note – Ayush did not have to re-apply. He just had to send an updated GMAT score.
European B School case study – Martina received a scholarship from St. Gallen
I hope these data points help you move forward. Your GMAT score may be enough to secure an admit but you should aim higher if you want to secure a scholarship or a fellowship.

Hi Aniriddha,
First off, a 680/Q46 is a strong Score, so it could be enough to get you into the Schools that you're interested in. As such, a retest might not be necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
