Hi,

I appeared for GMAT online exam on 17 July 2020 and got my result today on 22 July 2020. As a background, i had scored in the range 690-700 in the official practice tests. However, my GMAT score is way below my expectations.

Total 640
Quantitative 50
Verbal 26
Integrated Reasoning 6

My exam went pretty smoothly and i believed i had done better than my practice exams. Can someone please suggest any good B-schools that i can apply to with the following profile

XII - 93.5 ( First in School)
BCom Hns - 79% ( First in College- Regular college)
Chartered Accountant
Work Ex - more than 5 years with Big 4
No significant extra-curricular.

I was aiming to get into ISB or executive MBA programs of IIM A/B/C

Hi Nikhil,

I am going to suggest something you probably don't want to hear. Go, retake GMAT. Online would no longer be n option, but you can still take it at a centre. There is a remarkable difference in your mock score and the actual score, so there's a high probability you will get the score up in the retake. Secondly, a 640 would not be competitive at your target programs, and if your plans are to stay in India, then these programs are the best. So, a retake will be worthwhile.

Retaking GMAT and getting a score around 700 can get your chances to be positive from negative. WIth the current score, it is highly likely that your application will be rejected in beginning.

Improve your verbal and get a score of 700 with Q-50 and V-34-35

FOr any further quesry, you may tag me. :)

Hi Nikhil,
If you are open to school outside India then you can look into Swiss, German, Swedish and Australian Schools ....
Many schools require both verbal and quant to be above a certain percentile...(80 percentile, I guess)
My advise will be try an intense one month verbal practise and take GMAT again ....
Your Job profile, industry , work ex of 4 year (in i guess Deliote , PWC, KPMG or Mckinsey ? ) is perfect for many schools but Verbal might come as a deterrent ....

Nikhil,

Its a positive that you have scored 50/51 on the quant section. The verbal score is low - score in 30+ would have helped. That said, 640 is good enough to get you admitted to couple of programs in India.
You can target IIMs B/C and SPJIMR. Since you have a consulting background, placing you should be rather easy - a point that goes in your favor.
With a good profile, neatly written resume that brings out your strong points, and clarity on goals as evident from your essays / SOPs, you have a good shot.
If you are still insistent on IIMA / ISB, we would suggest retaking the GMAT.
Feel free to get in touch with us for any help with the admission process.

Cheers !
Team - TopTier
