Hi Everyone,
I'd like your advice and thoughts on my profile.
I am applying for deferred admissions programs. I will be reserving my spot for 2 years while I get work experience. I am from the US but my ethnicity is Indian. I am the only person in my family to have been born and brought up in the US. Here is some more information on my profile:
Undergrad: Ivy League (Majors - Neuroscience and Economics)
GPA: 3.7/4.0
Masters: Ivy League (1 year program)
GPA currently: 4.0/4.0
GMAT: 720 (49Q, 38V)
Target Schools: M7 and Yale, Darden, and Haas
Joining a top boutique consulting firm after my Masters ends in May.
I will be getting a recommendation letter from a professor from Harvard Medical School and from one of my current professors who went to Harvard Business School.
I want to know what my chances are and what to do about my GMAT score. I know I could do better (740-750) since my practice scores were usually between 740-770. I gave the test last week and gave it in India since I'm visiting family here. The issue is that the deferred admissions deadlines for the schools I am interested in range between March 15th to April 29th. If I were to give the gmat again, it would cost quite a bit to book a flight to the nearest city that offers the exam. I would also be taking time away from writing my essays and getting my applications together. I've been juggling an internship, my classes, this exam and applications for the last couple of months and have not had enough time for my applications and so really need to focus there. Is it worth taking the exam again? The earliest I could take it would be March 16th, which would mean I would have to use my old score (720) for at least 1 school. Would it make sense to take the GMAT online exam perhaps? Or should I solely focus on improving my applications from an essay standpoint for the next month?
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club!
720 is a pretty good score! (you would be evaluated as a US person though some schools now have a sub-segment of US-raised/born Indian group - at least that is the rummor I heard which could be worth nothing, frankly).
I suggest you either use the WAMC automated tool to get an immediate answer and to play with different combinations or post a profile review request in the Ask Admissions Consultants forum. https://gmatclub.com/forum/admission-co ... 4/?fl=menu You can post in the main one or in one of the sub-forums. Just don't post in all as you will likely not hear back for that move.

Hi isrh22,
First off, a 720/Q49 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Since you are interested in some highly-competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
