Greetings,
I recently appeared for GMAT and scored 720 (Q49 V40 IR5). This was my first attempt at GMAT
My profile -
* Citizenship : Indian
* Class X Percentage : 88.00
* Class XII Percentage : 78.00
* Graduation : B.Tech in Civil Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Surat; GPA : 8.14/10
* Work Experience:(5 years 3 months)
1) Assistant Manager (Civil) with ESSAR OIL
Job responsibilities: Site in-charge. Supervising construction of pipe racks and had a staff of around 20 people reporting to me.
2) Assistant Engineer (Civil) with Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation which is a state government department involved in encouraging Industrial
development in the state of Gujarat, India.
Job responsibilities: Supervising development of infrastructure required for industries
Supervised several civil engineering related projects, like developing water supply schemes, road networks, storm water disposal systems etc.
Daily interaction with the top level management of various multinational companies to resolve various issues faced by them.
Marketing state policies and facilities in order to attract various multinationals in the state of Gujarat.
*As a whole it can be said that my total work experience is mostly related to civil engineering.
*While working with GIDC I had an opportunity to interact with bureaucrats from several countries and CEOs and was in-charge of marketing state of Gujarat as a better place to setup industries. This is when I felt the passion for marketing and want to satisfy that desire with a degree in management.
*Extra curricular activities: I am deeply interested in music and also hold a degree in music (for tabla-classical Indian instrument.) I have won several quizzes at State level. I have also volunteered several times in organizing "Vibrant Gujarat", a biannual event organized by government of Gujarat to promote growth in the state. I have won several medals and trophies in Basketball and Football at school level.
I am interested in Tuck, Haas, Anderson and Duke Please let me know what are my chances and which US based B-school should I actually apply to. Will retaking GMAT and scoring more improve my chances significantly?

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your background. Given your applicant pool, retaking the GMAT and scoring a 740 or better will certainly help your chances at your target schools. Given that you've taken it once, consider retaking the test in a month or so. While it's not ideal to work on applications and your GMAT together, your progress on your GMAT should lighten the additional prep needed to get to the 740 level. Both Tuck and Haas are going to be stretches so I would consider applying to one of those. Duke and UCLA could become more aligned with a boosted GMAT score of 740 above. However, to ensure that we're looking at the right set of schools, what do you want to do after you earn your MBA? You mention your passion for marketing, but what exactly are your short and long term goals?

Thanks for your valuable input. I have a deep interest in technology companies. As far as my understanding goes, Haas is the best school for those interested in technology companies. My short term goal is to hold a significant post in the marketing department of a prominent technology company. My long term goal is to spread awareness regarding technological advancements and to expand the reach of technology to even remote locations. Also, with a score 740+ what are my chances for Haas or Tuck?
