Hey there,

Thanks for posting in our subthread! Quick question - what does "top US school" mean to you? What are some programs you're looking at?

Top US school means schools which are under top 30 ranks in US and I am looking for full time MBA either in General Management or in finance.

CriticalSquare · Answer

Ok, so I think two things. First off, you should wait. You're young, you don't have enough experience, and you haven't been working in an impactful role. I know that's probably not what you want to hear but another year or two would be very beneficial. Secondly, you need to retake the GMAT. A 660, as an Indian male, at the top 30, especially as a young applicant, simply won't cut it. I mean, could you maybe get into one or two schools this year? Maybe. And even then, they wouldn't be very highly ranked. But if you wait a bit, and bump up that GMAT, you would be set up for a far better run in a year or two.
