Hello,

Your profile sounds perfect for the first four schools, and you would be a competitive candidate for all four mentioned.

You will have to craft a strong application for the last three schools (strong essays) because you are jsut in the range of the average score of the last three schools.

For last three schools, i would suggest you to apply in the 1st round

Hope this helps

Is my verbal score(35, 74 percentile) enough for the mba in oxford, cambridge. I heard that some mba in UK/US prefer a verbal score with at least 80 percentile.

Moreover, does my AWA score (4) hurt a lot? do I need to retake gmat again??

Hello,

Yes, you fall within the range of the GMAT for these schools.

Two points

1) You gotta have strong essays for these schools, since these schools are flooded with applications around the world.
2) Please apply to these schools in the first round itself.

With strong essays and unique story, you should have a shot at these schools.

Hope this helps
