Hi MAHEEP RAJ,
Thank you for your post. I do not believe you are ready to apply to top 50 programs in the U.S., but I do commend you for thinking ahead. That way you can prepare for the future! I encourage you to read this post about the MBA admissions chances for Indian applicants to the top 50 U.S. programs:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-admissio ... 39142.htmlFirst, the average years of work experience for students at leading U.S. programs is around five years. The earliest point at which you start seeing realistic applications is when folks apply with two years of experience to enroll with three, but even that can be very difficult. Admissions committees want to see real impact and advancement in your organization and outside of it. You should focus on building experience in your professional and community life. Additionally, you can see via the link above that Indian applicants who are "too young" (e.g., 23/24) do not fare as well as Indian applicants with the right amount of experience.
Second, it's very difficult to provide a reasonable assessment when we're dealing with a wide range and hypotheticals in GMAT scores. Again, please review the post via the link above for context there. Generally speaking, you should try to target around 30 points above the average for whatever tier of schools you're interested in. That doesn't guarantee you anything. Getting is still quite difficult and requires excellent application execution. But hopefully that helps you set targets for your GMAT score.
Thanks,
Greg
