Profile Evaluation [#permalink] New post   03 Jun 2015, 01:37
Hello Experts,

Please evaluate my profile and also help me answer some of the queries below. Any feedback is welcome.

1) Profile Evaluation request:
Education:
Bachelor in Technology from PESIT, India (Computer Science)
CGPA – 5.74/10
Academic Achievements - Nothing to boast about

Work Experience:
4 years
2 years with ITC Infotech as Quality Analyst
1.5 years with a Financial Consultancy firm

GMAT and Application: 640 (Q44 V33)

Target schools:
My current list
University of Arizona (Eller)
Boston College
Boston University
Michigan State University (Broad)
University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign

I want to understand which schools may be good fit for an applicant with my background/work exp/aspirations? What are the schools I can consider within reach?
Also, apart from MBA, I am also considering to apply for MS in Finance. Can you please suggest universities for this programme too.

Thanks

Hi Varun,

I strongly recommend that you retake the GMAT. A low GPA and a low GMAT are going to be a double blow to your candidacy.
The competition is always intense for an Indian applicant, even at the universities in your list. A higher GMAT will improve your chances of selection.

Hi Namita,


Thanks a lot for your reply!!

I am now going to retake GMAT exam in the month of July, but my only concern is if I start application process and short listing the universities in the month of August, will it be late for applying in Round1.

Also, with the score of 640 will it be difficult to get through in MS Finance programme too?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,

You don't have to wait until the deadlines approach to start working upon your application. There are a lot of application stages such as the brainstorming, basic essays building (career goals, achievements et al), resume and recommendations that you can start working upon from now and ease your workload later. Every step takes time and you can easily get started alongside your GMAT prep.

If you want to apply to any top program- MBA, MiM, MFin, a good GMAT score will always help.

If you have taken the GMAT just once before, this is the best service you will do yourself (I am saying this on the premise that you will also score well :) )
