Thanks for the post. You could probably reach higher with your choice of schools actually! If you do everything write and develop a crisp story with a strong set of essays, you should be able to target schools in the range of UNC Kenan-Flagler, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, Duke Fuqua.

Thanks for the motivating words Scott !!

I will surely work hard to get it right with my essays. However , my concern is the AWA and IR score which I don't know what in the world caused me to mess up.
My first attempt was 660 with IR 5 and AWA 4 . Actually, I am pretty good with essays and data interpretation .I can improve but I don't want to precious waste time
which I could use to improve my essays. Request to share your generous opinion.

It is always a balance. If you think you could improve the GMAT without a lot of studying it could be worth taking the exam again to show higher AWA and IR. That said, I would not want you to spend a lot of time preparing for the exam only to get a 5 vs 3 on IR. I would rather see you focus on the essays. Let me know if I can be of further assistance with your applications and good luck!

Hi Joy,

You have a decent profile. Your academics, extracurricular and work experinece are really good. The list of B-Schools you have prepared are really good and within in your reach. I would also suggest you to target NUS and NTU if you don't have any geographic preference.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
