Hi all,
I just took my 3rd attempt at gmat and scored a 690(Q49 V34) with IR-8(93 percentile)[1st - 580(Q51 V21), 2nd - 590(Q51 V22)]. Though I could get a 100 point jump on my score, I really regret not replicating my previous quant performance which would've let me break the 700 barrier.
My dream schools are Rotman, University of Toronto and Foster, University of Washington. I am indian, male, 24 years old.
GPA:
I studied CSE. I do not have a great gpa from college - 6.5 with 6.8 in final year without any backlogs(Concentrated way too much on learning data science in my last two years).
Work Exp:
My work experience and performance at work have been completely opposite to my grades(probably a reaction to my disappointing college grades). I will be having 3 years of work experience by the time i wish to start my mba.
I work in a data analytics firm(Its a deloitte fast 50 firm for the last 8 years) which was my college dream(Somehow obsessed with data science and data engineering) and i have received the top performer award. I constantly work with the top people of the company, thanks to their trust in young people.
I can get my references from my manager who is a visiting faculty and course designer at IIM-Calcutta and also one from the dean of computer science in my college(He somehow liked me as a student). I believe I am really good at my writing skills. So I am confident of writing good essays.
I served as the head of Public Relations for entrepreneurship development cell in my college.
What I would really like to know are-
Do I really have a profile which is good enough for the schools i want to go to? Or do i have to take my gmat again if it is going to help offset my profile?
My short-term ambition is to do research in Strategic and Operational management. My long-term ambition is to be a professor.
Thanks in advance.

Hey saikiran1003 ,
Welcome to GMATClub
Considering your profile (Indian IT Male) and your target schools, I would encourage you to retake the GMAT.
My friend, it is very tough for Indian IT Males.
All the best

Hello saikiran1003,
Thanks for posting here
We quite agree with the post above. As an average Indian IT male, you belong to an overrepresented pool of applicants and in order to differentiate yourself from the remaining applicants, you will need to proceed with a score that is above the average GMAT score at each of these schools. Hence, a retake is strongly recommended. To add to this, you also have a low GPA and the best way to offset a low GPA is a high GMAT score.
Hope this helps
All the best!
