Hello


The few school's I'm currently considering applying to:
Columbia

Yale
NYU-Stern
Duke
Kenan-Flagler
Tepper
UCLA

What do you think? Feel free to be as critical as you like in your evaluations.


Hi there,

You have a well rounded profile. Work ex, ECs, international education, international work ex, and a lot of points to make your application sound. However, as suggested above you belong to a over represented pool of applicants. You have a distinguished profile from them and 690 does help you get closer to your target schools. If you can spare time then definitely go ahead and try to improve your score. Else I think you have a decent shot at bottom 4 of your schools. Hope this helps. Good Luck !

Best,

Experts,

Thanks for taking the time to evaluate my profile and for your responses. I've registered to re-take the GMAT and hopefully can break the 720 barrier.

Will reach out to you if I need assistance with the admissions process.

Thanks,
Anurag

I did retake the GMAT, and was able to improve my score to a 720 (Q48, V41). Does this have any impact on my prospects at all?

Congratulations man!
Yeah going to a 720 will help you a LOT!

Probably not enough to put Top 10 schools in range, as anyhow as a non-IIT grad, who is from India in Tech, even a 770 might not help that much here. BUUUUUT before with a 690, you were looking at schools in the 25-50 range, and now you can look at schools in about the 10-30 range.

So for sure it helps! :)

Congrats on the improved score, i think it def should help you move a bit up the rankings to a different class of target schools, you are probably still right outside of the top 10 but with a great set of essays who knows so make sure to really focus on standing out in your application package. Good luck!
