Hi,
I am preparing for business school applications this fall and I had few questions. Below is my profile, followed by couple of questions:
Profile:
27 , Indian Male
GPA : 3.3 (BTech and MTech) from top Indian Engineering Institute
GMAT: 690 ( Q50 V31) , taken on Sept 8th 2012
Work Ex:
Sr. Analyst : Management consulting / Analytics focus on operations & technology projects , with one of the top management consulting firms. Worked on several client projects with the lead role of specific workstreams. Coached and mentored junior colleagues and have been recognized several times for strong performance.
Total Experience by July 2013 : 5 years
International experience: 3 years full time in India and 1 year + so far in US.
Have done projects in 5+ countries across 4 continents.
Extracurricular :
Leadership: Headed the department festival in the college ,part of several other cultural festival team. Community: Co-founded a team of youth to contribute towards education quality in govt. schools of India. Member of another NGO in US working on education sector in India
Short term/ Long terms Goals : Need to gain experience in other functions, finance, marketing by moving to a strategic position in an organization. Entrepreneurship is the long term goal (likely focus would be social sector + technology )
My questions:
1. Do you think I should retake the GMAT ? Specially as my score is quite imbalanced. I am sure I can improve 30-40 point on this, but wanted to see if giving up first round deadlines for GMAT retake is worth it ?
2. I am thinking of applying to MIT, INSEAD and HBS . Could you please give me an assessment of my profile ? Also would you suggest any other Tier 1 school for my profile and career goals ?

I think an additional 30-40 points on the GMAT, especially if it improves your verbal, would significantly improve your chances at your target schools. For INSEAD and HBS it is definitely worth waiting a round and applying with a higher score. If you can improve your score and retake AND apply to MIT by its round 1 deadline of Oct. 24, that would be great. IF not, postpone that also to R2.
You may also want to consider Haas, Ross, Duke, and UCLA.
Regards,
Linda

Thanks Linda for your comments !
I am as well thinking of applying in R1 of MIT, but given the 31 days gap of GMAT retake, earliest i can take it would be 10th oct, which leaves me with 14 days to send new score to MIT. GMAC informs that it usually takes 20 days to send scores, do you think 14 days time before R1 might work here ?
Thanks
