Demographic - Indian Male with an Indian Passport and Canadian PR
Undergraduate - Top 10 US undergrad with a double major in Finance and Economic Consulting
GPA - 3.95
GMAT - 720
Work experience: 4 years of management/strategy consulting experience at Big 4 in the USA and Canada. Great promotion track, top of my peer group, great projects, leadership experiences, and some volunteer work
I am concerned about my GMAT, which is below average for an Indian male, but I believe other aspects of my profile differentiate me from other people in my demographic group.
Do I have a good profile for M7/T15?
Will the GMAT score be a roadblock?
Appreciate any insights!

Hello Dart4924,
While the GMAT score is important, it is not the sole determinant of your admission chances. Your GMAT score of 720 is slightly below the average for Indian male applicants to top MBA programs (average around 730-740+), it is still a strong score and above the median for many top MBA programs. Moreover, you have a strong undergraduate record from a top US institution with a high GPA of 3.95, which demonstrates your academic ability and dedication.
Your dual majors in Finance and Economic Consulting, along with your international experience (Indian passport and Canadian PR), add diversity to your profile. Your promotion track, leadership experiences, and diverse projects to showcase your professional growth and impact.
Conclusion: Your other strengths such as GPA, work experience, and leadership could help offset a slightly lower GMAT score. Your strong academic record, excellent work experience, and leadership qualities are all highly valued. Your unique background (international experience, dual majors, Big 4 consulting) can certainly differentiate you from other applicants with higher GMAT scores but less diverse profiles.
Focus on presenting a cohesive application that highlights your achievements, leadership, and future goals. Consider addressing your GMAT score in optional essays if you feel the need to explain the context around your test score. Having drafted a well-rounded application, you still have a good chance at M7/T15 schools despite the GMAT score being slightly below average for your demographic.
Now you can also try our B school selector tool to evaluate your schools with your current candidacy.

We recommend connecting with you on a one-to-one basis to understand your profile in depth and further help you build a roadmap to your dream schools.
