Hi Jon,

Thanks for a review of my profile.

Well, i do realise that i come from a really competitive pool, but unfortunately i do not have the time to write GMAT again. Its already october and round2(which is the final round in my case) is just 2 months away. If i do retake GMAT, I will not have any time to work on my apps and i am afraid that might show in the essay. Instead, can you please suggest a couple of schools which is on par with my profile? My personal preference in location is either east or west.

Thanks for your help!..Appreciate it!

Regards,
Jayanth

Hey Jayanth,
Well if you have to apply this year, and with your current score, I'd say your sweet spot for schools would be in the 20-50 ranking (of US News and World Report). Either that, or delay your application till next year if you want to target higher-ranked schools.

Best,
Jon
