Hey mohanv,
Happy to talk to you to answer your questions, and take you through the process. A few quick questions:
1) Why not GMAT? You may get a higher score with that. If you get better scores there, NUS & ISB in particular will look at you more favourably.
2) The size/impact of your achievements is not clear. PM me your resume for a detailed look.
3) Your candidature appears decent. Making some assumptions here with the laws of averages. Looks like with some consulting help you can nail your NUS & NTU. As for the IIms & ISB, a deeper study of both your resume and talking to you would help.

Are you willing and needing only the GRE? What about the GMAT?

It is much easier to get a good grad to the GMAT if you are good in math!

Best of luck!

I feel more comfortable with GRE.

I feel its easy for me to hit 700 equivalent on GRE rather than 700 on GMAT. Being a non native english speaker, after an exhaustive Quant section, I am struggling with Verbal. In GRE its a mix so I am not tired with any one section. Hence the personal decision.


Thanks a lot for inputs!!!
