Hi All,

I have 13 years of experience in Telecom industry.
Currently I am working as Business Development Manager in Telecom operator.
I have done BE Electronics from University of Mumbai in 2004 with degree percentage of 61%
I need help in profile evaluation in terms of :
1) What should be my best target colleges- considering, my priority is to work in Asia but not restricting to Asia
2) What should be my GMAT score? (My last GMAT score is 570- Q39; V 29- appeared on 19th November 2016)
3) Any advice to improve in score?
INSEAD with an avg GMAT of 707 has a great program in Singapore.
Regards

Hi All,
hi jwalantudesai, thanks for your question. Will answer below.
I have 13 years of experience in Telecom industry.At 13 yrs work experience you may want to consider an exec MBA program so you will be in class with peers. You are a bit over the FT work experience average.
Currently I am working as Business Development Manager in Telecom operator.
I have done BE Electronics from University of Mumbai in 2004 with degree percentage of 61%
I need help in profile evaluation in terms of :Even the grades from college may be a bit challenging as well.
1) What should be my best target colleges- considering, my priority is to work in Asia but not restricting to Asia Here is a listing of the top exec MBA programs in Asia:https://www.ivyexec.com/best-executive-mba-rankings/asia
2) What should be my GMAT score? (My last GMAT score is 570- Q39; V 29- appeared on 19th November 2016)
3) Any advice to improve in score?Exec MBA programs care less about the GMAT and more about the quality of the work experience. I think you will fare better in exec MBA programs. If you insist on the FT option and want to improve GMAT, I suggest you look at the GRE to see if you can score better on that exam. I think that might be a great option for you to consider. Wishing you the best!

Regards
Dear ,

Thanks for your kind response.

However, the juncture at which I am in my career, it requires only FT MBA.
Hence, I am interested in Full Time MBA through GMAT route.
However, I am looking forward for your kind guidance in-
1) Typical GMAT score required with experience I have
2) Decent MBA colleges with 1 year FT MBA program in Asia/Europe-Asia being first preference

Regards,
Other ideas for FT MBA through GMAT route- consider fi nding a private tutor- lots of great resources on the GMAT pages for that. Having a GMAT over 700 gives you the best options although no school makes admissions decisions in a vacuum. Here's another list to review to see if there is a fit for you: https://www.mbastudies.com/MBA/1-year-MBA/Asia/
I think rather than just look at where you can get in- also look at all the programs and see what programs have the best resources for your career interests. Then go deep to get to know those programs well and your odds improve there as you will have a compelling reason why you want to be there. That is also part of the mix- it is not just GPA and GMAT.
