Hello,
Kindly review my profile and share your valuable inputs.
Profile: I completed my graduation in Computer Science Engineering from one of the top 10 colleges in India in 2014 with a CGPA of 8.75. I have been working with Bank of America since then, first as a Senior Technical Associate and then promoted to Senior Software Engineer in January 2017. I am joining an algorithmic trading firm in October 2017, as a Product Manager.
Extra-curricular: I am one of the co-founders of Teach for Vellore, a non profit initiative working on similar grounds as Teach for America or Teach for India.
In 2016, I had also co-founded 90percent.in, an initiative to promote financial awareness among the masses.
I am a Co-leader in an Adventure firm in Mumbai, India and have conducted over 8 treks with over 100 people.
I am an Environment ambassador in Bank of America and was Head of Critics, Toastmasters Chennai, Bank of America chapter.
I also have completed diploma in Fine Arts from a fine institute in my school days and was the School Head too.
I gave my GMAT last year, with the score of 710 (50 in Quant, 36 in verbal, 6 in AWA and 4 in IR)
Below is the shortlist which I have done:
Location
1) US - Cornell, Columbia, Booth, Wharton, Ross
2) Asia – ISB/NUS/NTU/HKUST/CUHK
Areas of interest : 1) General Management, 2) Finance
I need your help in deciding which colleges I should apply to.
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?
Also, what other schools can i keep in my options in case I dont retake. I am an Indian, female, engineer.

Hey there!
So good to hear from you!
Although I don't have necessarily good news. As an Indian software engineer not from IIT with a software engineering job and a 710, top 10 and top 15 schools are out of range for you. I would suggest you rather start looking into the 10-30 range in the US. For Asian schools, most of the ones you mentioned should be within range, although it will very important that you highlight both your business skills and your leadership, if you have any.
For an understanding of just how tough and competitive things are have a look at this:

You could try to aim for a higher GMAT if you really want to aim for Top 10 schools:

But I have to say that without a stronger job, without more volunteer work and ECs and leadership, even with a 760 the top schools will be tough.
Best,
JF

Hello there,
I must say you have an impressive profile though I would admit you do fall in the most competitive pool of applicants. However, you still stand out from other IT sector applicants primarily because of what you bring to the table beyond your work profile. Your extra curriculars are strong and relevant therefore if I were you I wouldn't settle for anything less than a top 10 school.. 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
