Hello everyone
I recently gave my GMAT focus exam ang recieved a scire of 575 (Q81 V77 DI 77) This was far below my expectations of getting a scire of 645, and i am planning to give the GMAT again aroynd next month.

I wanted to know what options do i have with my current score, mainly in UK (or USA fir that matter) as i want to apply in R1 for atleast some schools.

From what i've read, UK schools like LBS, Imperial College, university of manchester, Edinburgh etc donot have a GMAT requirement per say.

This is how my current profile looks like: -

Age 20, Indian, Male

Education : Narsee Monjee College Of Commerce And economics
GPA(4 sems): 8.48 CGPA

grade of 95.2% in grade 12th, secured 2nd rank in school and 92% in grade 10

Completed 2 internships at - TATA Trent and Mintoak solutions pvt ltd (Both in investment and finance roles)

I've also co authored and published a couple of research papers in research conferences

I've been part of volubteering sessions at Finance cell and NSS unit of my college and have also been the HOD at the Finance and investment cell.

Currently i am building a stock market simulator website, to be utilised by student for competitions etc

Please guide me regarding the same

­Hi mridul_bhatla,

Thank you for sharing your detailed profile. You’ve made a good start with your GMAT attempt, and it’s great to see that you’re already planning to retake the exam. Your profile shows several strengths such as academic excellence, relevant internships, an entrepreneurship-driven mindset, and so on that could stand out to admissions committees. Universities for an MBA typically look for work experience around 3-5 years, hence, gaining more work experience before applying for MBA programs can make your profile much stronger.

While many UK schools do not require the GMAT, submitting a competitive score can improve your chances. Whereas, in the US, many MBA programs place significant weight on the GMAT score

Would you like to schedule a free consultation with one of our MBA experts to delve deeper into your profile and develop a tailored application strategy? We can help you identify the best-fit programs and optimize your chances of admission. Our contact number is +91 7780769732.
