Profile Evaluation required just took GMAT

Thanks a lot for replying. Also for the honesty . If am taking GMAT again what should be my target score (considering my profile-which is common among Indians). Will 720+ do it ?

I hate to give you the advice to retake the GMAT but a 660 score is significantly below the average of Indian applicants to UVA, Kellogg, and NUS.

You have a shot at Kelly and Mays given the fact that you graduated from a NIT and your experience is good. Your professional background is similar to other applicants’ backgrounds from the ultracompetitive Indian applicant group so you will want to differentiate yourself as much as possible.

But if you retake the GMAT and score in the 700’s you will be competitive for your target schools.

Good luck,

..

Yes but you would want other aspects of your profile to mitigate this like having graduated from a ranked business school or a higher GMAT. You also can take classes and do well in those classes to mitigate your GPA as well.

How does your title, competencies and experience relate to your future goals? Also, more importantly what have you done in terms of leadership, impact, etc. in your corporate banker role that will differentiate you from your peer group?

Best of luck,

A 720+ will help a LOT!

Hi,

You have a decent profile and a good corporate exposure. But your GMAT Score is not that good. I would suggest you to retake GMAT and target 700+.

As per your profile and area of interest I would suggest you to target Kellogg, Tuck, Duke, Cornell, NYU and UCLA B-School where all you can apply along with the the list of b-school you have mentioned below.

The Business Schools you have chosen are excellent but I will suggest you to apply few more which I have suggested above as they have good acceptance rate and employment record. Also get in touch with the alumnus of B-School which you are targeting to know more about the B-School admission procedure.

You would need to cleverly prepare yourself for questions like the reasons you want to switch from IT to management, your rationale behind applying for a specific B school, so on and so forth.

The next step for you is to focus more on your GMAT and application essays, recommendations for these Business Schools.
