Hi,
Please evaluate my profile...
GMAT History:-
GMAT 1: 600 (Q:49,V:22)
GMAT 2: 620 (Q:48,V:27)
GMAT 3: 580 (Q:50,V:18)
After giving 3 attempts, I could not think of re-taking GMAT anymore
Work Experience:-44 months by the time I join.
Working in Infosys Ltd.
Promotion: Recruited as Systems Engineer Trainee. Promoted to Systems Engineer and now working as a Senior Systems Engineer.
Working in Banking & Capital Markets Division for client Bank of America.
Academics:- Bachelor in Engineering in Electronics & Telecomm.
GPA: 3.6
2nd topper in final year and awarded gold medal
Studied French for 8 years during school.
Extra Curricular Activity:-
Active member of my college IEEE student branch. Served as the Secretary of my college IEEE branch.
Organized various events in my college such as paper presentation.
Awarded Lt. Governor award for my work in Scouts & Guides in 2001.
I feel GMAT score will be an overall low point in my application
One key point: I won't be looking for a job post-MBA in US, as I have to return back to my country due to family constraints.
Can you please suggest some schools.
Thanks in Advance..Really appreciate your time and effort.

Hi Akshat,
Your GMAT scores do present a bad picture. After 3 attempts I would not advise you to retake it, specially as you don't have a pattern of increasing figures. Maybe you are just not a good test taker - and you can validate this using your decent GPA as a reference point in the optional essay.
I would suggest that you look at b-schools where the GMAT scores average closer to your own score (620 is the best bet, right?). From this perspective you can consider UK/European b-schools as their GMAT scores range between 600-720. Though most Indians stay back in the region of graduating to pay off the loans, but if you are sure you want to get back immediately after the MBA, the UK visa laws will not pose a problem.
Also consider, SMU (Singapore).
All the best,
Namita

akshat,
if you just want a us MBA then let me help you here.
1, you are going back for sure
2. a free/partiall free MBA sounds good, (free means zero out of pocket, partial means some costs)
3. if yes and you want to tell everyone , I got a free MBA from US ( free means you work for a professor etc, but you get the tuition waived and enough money to live modestly)
then apply to the state/public schools especially in the south where low tuition is the norm and then come to campus early as possible and apply for graduate assistantships in all areas, but it may take 1-2 semesters and some contacts to land one. MBA must be accredited by AASCB
do CPA or some other courses on the side and some student jobs on campus.
If you land an assistantship then you can get a good quality MBA at little to no cost. remember everyone else has the same idea so come on campus ASAP and start hunting early.
