I wish to attend school in fall of 2017. My post-MBA goals are to switch over to strategic consulting or to a more finance oriented role in a conglomerate. I will try to get into such roles this year itself by switching jobs.
My target schools are:
1. Indiana Kelley
2. Georgetown
3. Kenan-Flagler
4. ISB
5. USC
6. McCombs
7. Rotman
8. Nanyang
9. Emory
Please do let me know if you think I should include some other schools in the list. Also, please advise me on what I can do to make my profile stronger and more competitive. I am not sure if I will be able to do substantially better on the GMAT.
Thank you!
Hey dude,
Good to hear from you!
So the firt thing is that sure it is true that a higher GMAT will help. it ALWAYS helps!
But my main question here when I read this is: who are you? what do you want? What are your dreams? What's special and unique about you?
I mean, its great that you arent in IT, but still Indian Male successful with a pretty good GMAT... its just not enough.
You need to become MEMORABLE to the Adcom. To come ALIVE in your application by showing them who you are.
That will be more your secret to success than another 10 or 20 points on the GMAT (once again not that it wouldn't help
Best,
Jon
