Greetings !!
My profile in brief:
I am from India & have studied BE from University of Mumbai in Computer Science (Passing 2010) I do not have a decent score in college. However i have a strong co-curricular profile (all with supportive paper work).
My experience 5 Years in Total
2 years with MNC &
3 Years in Family Business with several key responsibilities.
GMAT score
580/54%, Q47/67%, V24/36%, IR5/52% ,AWA 6/92%
I am aware that the GMAT score is NOT much, however i would request you to consider my profile and share your advice.
Ideally: my short term goal is to get into a MBA/Masters program so that i can get global exposure during the duration of study & post the program. I plant to stay/work abroad till a period of 5-6 years. My long term goal is to come back to India and begin a business/partner and work in it.
I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Hi there!
Have you only taken the GMAT once? I would encourage you to retake it...your current score plus your low marks in college is going to be a pretty big burden for most MBA programs. They use those stats as indicators of your ability to manage the demanding coursework. Your Quant score is actually quite good, but it's really your Verbal score that's going to be a red flag...especially since effective communication is such an important skill in business.
Your work experience sounds good, though you don't share a lot of details there. I'd also encourage you to be more specific about your post-MBA career goals...what kind of work do you hope to do abroad? Is there a particular industry or function that appeals to you most? Business schools want to see that you have a very specific path in mind and that you understand how an MBA will help you along that path.
Good luck!

Hi Kate,
Greetings !!
Thank you for spending time on my thread.
Yes i have taken GMAT once last month only.
I want to understand is, if i manage to get 640 to 650 range of scores, will it make a telling difference ? In terms of admits i get ?
I also need to know if its true that MBA vs MIS , the latter is much better option due to longer OPT period & preference of Asians in tech profiles over management profiles. (i have been told this several times.. so asking.. Pl do take it against me
)
MY ideal score would be Q47/V32 .. so pl consider the same and advice.
Also my plan currently is prepare and give TOEFL in next 4 weeks.so that i have another task covered. Moving ahead i can retake GMAT, as per your suggestions and discussions here.
Thanks again for spending time on my thread.
