Dear Friends,
May I request some guidance regarding my profile and its suitability for either of the MBA programs?
My profile:
About 12 Years plus IT work experience (35 years age). last position at Big 4 firm as a senior manager leading one of the practices. currently, trying to launch a small start up. my experience mainly spans around sales, BD and large global program managements. started my life as a junior developer. Had an engineering degree from a reputed University with GPA around 3.79.
Status:
Appearing for GMAT in a month or so. Lining up essays, references, optionals etc.
Questions:
1. Realistically, what is a comfortable GMAT score? I am not looking for the stellar scores as I know I am not capable of them. I want to balance the score with my work experience. So, some guidance will be great.
2. Timeline -- How long do the Schools take to decide on your candidacy?
3. Resume -- What do the schools look for in a resume? Do they consider frequent job switch a -ve? I have one entry where I worked for only 6 months and had to leave as my boss was let go. I see about 4 other entries in my career other than this one. Any guidelines?
4. Will it hurt my candidacy that I am an independent entrepreneur?
Much appreciate your guidance.

1)Their averages are 690. So a "comfortable" score would be around 690 or higher.
2)Their websites say 2-4 weeks (assuming you can interview in that timeframe). Remember, interviews are required at both programs.

As mentioned the average scores are around 690.. but i know folks who have gotten into these schools at much lower scores.. try your best.. a good GMAT score is needed. also independent entrepeneur can be a advantage and will differentiate you from others but your story and vision of what u want to do and how MBA will help and how you can contribute to the classes will be important..
still waiting.
