Hello,

You are a part of the most competitive pool that is Indian Engineering grades, so expectation of better GMAT is inevitable for you for international schools. Insead and NUS will be stretches. At NTU, you may take chance, but i would suggest you to retake GMAT. ISB will be a long stretch considering your background.

For Indian schools also, this GMAT score will be not enough to be a competitive applicant, I am not aware about the one year program offered by MDI at Gurgaon.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your frank review.
i am thinking i might as well apply and give it a shot. will definitely retake the gmat soon.

is there any difference if you are reapplying to these schools?!
is it the same as first time applicants or better or worse?!

you are most welcome sir.

Every schools has a different philosophy for re applicants.

INSEAD is very particular about your concrete improvements when you apply as a re-applicant, so I would suggest you not to apply to INSEAD untill you are not very sure that you have the strongest possible application.

At NTU and NUS, I think you should not have much problem as re applicant, but if you think you wanna retake GMAT, than i would suggest you to apply with best of your application.

Hope this helps
