Hello,
I need some advice about my career choices.
My profile:
Nationality: Indian.
Work Ex: Close 8 yrs of IT experience. Currently working for Accenture UK as a Team leader.
Gmat score: 600 - QA 42, VA 30 And AWA 5.0
International Experience: Worked in Malayasia and UK with retail clients for a total time period of more than an year.
Extra Curriculars:
3 Dan black belt in Karate
Won more than 8 National and State level championships in Martial Arts
Taught Self Defence/Martial arts for close to 7 years in India
Out of interest i have been involved in community service in various ways and have been recognized by my company for it.
Play Badminton regularly and was a part of the corporate badminton team in India
And have run a Half marathon on pure will power (no preparation)
I have around 5 years of Retail functional experience working for some of the best retailers in UK. And am ITIL certified.
I do want to progress in my career and hence i want to do an Mba. I would ideally want to take up a career in field which is a combination of Retail and/or IT as i have some basic understanding of these fields.
I am not happy with my score. And i am sure i can do better than that as my gmat prep score were around 690, 700. But i am dont want to delay and want to apply now itself. Cos i am not sure how far will a score like 670 take me if i apply around April, May. Before I got my score, i wanted to do an mba from either Oxford or Cambridge (general mgmt). This is probably the last time i would be getting formal education so i Really Wanted to do it from the best colleges in UK.
I am looking at Sep 2010 admissions.
1) Based on my profile could you please recommend some good universities in UK only for combination of retail/IT or retail consulting?
2) Do you think i should retake gmat and apply after that?
3) Before deciding to contact you, i was thinking of applying for Warwick college. Do you think it is good idea? And if so what are my chances?
4) Or should i take gmat again to get a score of around 700 and look for 2011 admissions?
Thanks Again.

1. Frankly, I encourage you to retake the GMAT. with a score in the high 600's you would have a decent shot at Cambridge and Oxford. (I'm assuming your college grades are competitive and that you show good progress professionally.) With your current score, your chances are very slim at these two programs.
2. Yes.
3.You would be competitive at Warwick (assuming again good grades), but it does not have as wide a reach and alumni network as Cambridge and Oxford. If you want the biggest professional benefit from your MBA, I recommend retaking the GMAT and applying to your target programs.
4. Yes.
A few additional resources that may be of help to you:
Best,
Linda
