Hello,
Kindly review my profile and share your valuable inputs.
Profile: I completed my graduation in Fashion studies from one of the top 3 colleges in Asia in 2014 with a CGPA of 7.43. I have been working with the biggest apparel organization in the country since June 2014. Currently have a rich experience of 39 months.
Extra-curricular: I am a national level athlete and I am regularly involved in different sports.
Have also won national level quiz competitions. Have been involved with couple of NGOs during my college days.
I gave my third attempt of GMAT at the beginning of the week. Below are all my scores:
1st attempt : 680 (Q-50, V-30, IR-7, AWA - 4)
2nd attempt : 670 (Q-49, V-33, IR-7, AWA - 5)
3rd attempt : 700 (Q-50, V-34, IR-8, AWA- awaited).
Though i did manage to touch the psychological barrier of 700, I still feel I am 30 points shy of reaching my target score. I need your help in pursuing my MBA dreams.
Below is the shortlist which I have done:
Location
1) US - Most preferred country for further education
2) Asia – ISB/NUS/NTU are the only preferred colleges for an Indian
Areas of interest : 1) General Management, 2) Marketing
I need your help in deciding which colleges I should apply.
I am targeting top 15 US B schools. So should I apply in Round 1 or give GMAT again and apply in Round 2 with a higher score?
As studying in my current job is becoming extremely tough, I am planning to switch my job and take a break of around a month between the jobs.
Will it be okay if I plan my next GMAT attempt between a job switch?
Will a new job have any negative impact on my candidature?

First of all, your profile is really interesting, so I would say that even though you come from an overrepresented applicant group, you do have a lot of good material to work with (fashion school and the apparel industry is not the most common background as I am sure you know, and your extra curriculars are both unusual and impressive as well etc.) but you are right that for the top 15 schools, a slightly better GMAT score would really, really help. (If you don’t manage to get there, you could just try to improve your chances using your essays but doing that in combination with a higher GMAT score is a much “safer” bet than doing the essay part on its own)
As for schools to look at, here you’ll find some current rankings for business schools with a specialization in marketing: https://aringo.com/mba-marketing-specialization/ and you can see the same kind of ranking for general marketing here:https://aringo.com/general-management-strategy-mba-programs/
So looking at those schools could be a great start for you.
What is the new job you are considering and how does it differ from the current job you have? The impact the change is likely to have on your candidacy depends on that, you see. (if you prefer not to get into that too much here on a public board, you can contact us off the board in order to discuss it in private as well: https://aringo.com/mba-process-registration/)

Hello Yash,
I must say you have an impressive profile though I would admit your target schools with this score would be a tad bit difficult.
Your extra curriculars are strong and therefore my short answer to this, looking at your target schools, is to re-attempt GMAT and apply to round 2.
Aim for 740+ . There is lot of scope to improve on your verbal score. I don't know which aspects you are weak on, but a verbal score on the right side of 40 would take you beyond your target score.
Will be happy to discuss your profile in detail. You can connect with us at connect@taterways.com / +91-9167833669. One of our cofounders comes from a very similar background and graduated from Wharton. I am sure she will be happy to talk to a fellow industry mate.
