You should aim high. Don’t rush. You are not very old. If I were you, I would retake GMAT and apply to other top schools in round 1.

Good luck!

Hi Nardeep,

You still have sufficient time for applying to Canadian & US b-schools. I agree with your decission of re-taking GMAT. Target 700+ and then apply in good US b-schools. To check your chances in business schools, click to https://www.apphelp.co.in/b-school-selector.php

Let me know in case of further queries. You may PM your details for school selection and discussion in length.

Regards
Erina

Hi,

A few points

1) Your GMAT is well within range of the school (rather above average), so even if you score 700+ it is not gonna give you surety of admissions (if you wanna score 700+ and take chances with other schools, then it is a different story), so i suggest you immediately submit your application

2) Since you are from a common indian pool - IT, you have a challenge to prove your concrete through essays. You must be able to prove that why and how are you different from rest of the similar profiles. I suggest you to demonstrate proven leadership skills, initiative taking skills and decision making skills that you would have demonstrated during start up

3) I might sound harsh, but the fact is that getting scholarship at Schulich is very difficult (even if you score 700+). IF scholarship is your priority, you may choose their india campus for the first year, and you join their toronto batch in second year.

Hope this helps

Thanks and good luck
