Hello ,
Im currently a class 11th student in India looking forward to pursue a bba degree from hku,hkust or nus in future.(2020 admissions).I have already given a practice test and scored 570 the first time.I believe that after 7-8 months(180 hours) of Gmat studies I would probably be able to score 690-720 range.
So ,Is it rare that a 17 year students gets 6800-720 Gmat score and will it highly increase my chances for admission ?
Do the admission officers normally get a high school Gmat scorer in 700s range?Will it highly boost my application?
My predicted future percentage(Isc)is 97-98% ,Sat score of 1500-1530.
Please reply fast...

Former ISC student here -
No, there's shockingly little correlation between your current studies and the GMAT; unless you're a natural at either GMAT Quant or GMAT Verbal, you may be underestimating your prep time when you assume 180 hours. You may be able to get to 680/690 in 100 hours if you're good, but the curve gets considerably harder when you cross the 700s. Consider 400 hours of rigorous effort before you begin. Also, I use the "GMAT" qualifier for both Verbal and Quant because it's markedly different from what you're taught at school. I topped the country in ISC English when I graduated but had to start from the beginning because of how different GMAT Verbal is. Of course, I was 8 years removed from any schooling experience, so you'll have an edge, but only a slight one.
However, this is a moot point. If you're taking the GMAT for your MBA, you have at least 6-7 years before you have to worry about it. Top MBA schools look for much more than your GMAT score. It's great that you're thinking about this at such a young age, but I'd advice you to do some research and start building a compelling story [profile] that sets you apart. (Fair warning: As an Indian Male, you're part of an over-represented demographic, so you REALLY need to set yourself apart to impress the top schools. Good news is that time is on your side.)

An ISC scorer in 97-98% is already quite exceptional. Even that SAT is good. I'd rather put my efforts in other parts of my application, or extra curricular rather than study for the GMAT. You have already proved your academic ability. Whats the need of making that point again?
