Hey there


I'm looking for some help.

Here's my profile

26, from Pakistan, went to the top university/business School in Pakistan, gpa 2.5. 3 years of work experience with well known organizations. gmat 680. Not a lot of money.
I just wanted to know which schools in the US should i be targeting? I don't know how to go about it.

Any help would be welcome. Also, which ranking is the best (ft, economist, qs?)

Thanks,
Yahya

Hi Yahya,

If you are using b-school rankings, consider programs where your GMAT score and the GPA fall in the 20- 80% range. If you are targeting US b-schools, Businessweek and US News rankings will be more helpful.

Hi Yahya,

You have a nice profile with good academics.

Per your Profile and GMAT score I would recommend you to target Kellogg, Kelley, Tepper, Duke and Purdue etc. As the average GMAT Score for these B-Schools fall in between 650-790 range.

You are in perfect stage of your career and around 3-5 years of work experience is what most B Schools look for.

However you would need to cleverly prepare yourself for questions like why you had a low GMAT score, your rationale behind applying for a specific B school, so on and so forth.

The next step for you is to focus more on your application essays & recommendations for these Business Schools. Hence it would be highly advisable to seek assistance from professional consultants for guidance on preparing a good letters of recommendations and get your essays/scholarship essays evaluated before sending it out along with your application.
