Hi,
I gave my gmat today.
- Scored 710 (Q50, V37, IR:7)
- I did my BTech from IIT Kanpur (One of the top 5 colleges in India) and scored a 9.1/10 in my undergrads.
- Have a work experience of 4 years (2 MNC : Mastercard and Gartner) and one startup (started by top executives of Google in India). Industries I have worked in : Payments and Technology, Research and Advisory, FinTech).
- Leadership experience: I joined the startup when it was in nascent stages, and helped grow it to 60k+ users. Although not a part of leadership team (my title is still business analyst), I lead the data team in my startup and helped build the data platform from scratch. In my previous organisation (Gartner) also, I helped build the data platform from scratch.
- Extra curricular (undergrad):
- Led placement committee for the college
- Led the hospitality and accommodation committee for the college fest (budget > 10 million)
Extra curricular (postgrad):
- Formed a covid response team (on a personal level, with friends) which provided food (free of cost) for 2 months to ~300 families in delhi, when it was devastated by COVID second wave
- Extensively involved in sports, swimming and table tennis (pre covid) with a club
- Author of an unpublished book (110 pages completed)
My target schools are: Harvard, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, LBS, INSEAD.
Questions:
- Are female IIT'ians working in tech an over-represented group? If yes, how much of an disadvantage I am at?
- Is 710 a bad score for the schools I am targeting? Or do I still have chances?
- How strong is my profile overall?
- Is there any effect on my chances of scholarship at these schools because of GMAT? (I belong to low income family)

- Are female IIT'ians working in tech an over-represented group? If yes, how much of an disadvantage I am at?
A: Yes, this is an overrepresented group though not nearly as much as males with the same qualifications. You are probably at a slight disadvantaged but there's nothing you can do about it at this point. You just have to focus on the elements of your background that you believe make you unique.
- Is 710 a bad score for the schools I am targeting? Or do I still have chances?
A: It's a good score but it's not an amazing score. Typically Indian engineers (and the like) need a 730+ for the schools you are targeting. You won't be eliminated outright but you might not be top of the list as there are many other similar candidates with higher scores, specifically on the verbal side.
- How strong is my profile overall?
A: It is a good profile! You have good work experience and extracurricular achievements to pair with a solid academic pedigree and performance.
- Is there any effect on my chances of scholarship at these schools because of GMAT? (I belong to low income family)
A: Frankly, it's unlikely you will get any or much money from these schools. To be honest, you may not even get in outright! If guaranteeing admission and scholarship money are important to you, then you need to drop your list down significantly in the rankings.
