Hi,
2 years back I applied to a few B-schools and I got a rejection from all of them because:
1. There was no proper research from my side. I went with a list of schools that I had in my mind and tried to "FIT" my profile accordingly.
2. I am from an over represented pool of applicants with low GMAT score (690)
Now, I am trying to push for my MBA dream once again.
Obviously, GMAT is something I need to work on. This year I am trying to go as high as possible by analyzing my mistakes (which of course I did not do last time).
I have 8+ years of experience in Quantitative Analytics with a leading Bank and my post MBA goal is to move in a similar profile. Industry is not a constraint
I was hoping if someone can help me put together a list of B schools that would fit with my post MBA goal and that also attract companies, looking for Data Science professionals.
As far as I know, CMU and MIT offer a good curriculum revolving around Data Science. Any guidance from experts and/or alums will be really helpful.
Thanks a ton!

Hi Kamalg1910,
Two years ago, when you were rejected by the Schools that you applied to, did you receive any 'feedback' about your Profile? I only ask because a 690/Q49 is a fantastic GMAT Score - so that would NOT have been why you were rejected. When applying to highly-competitive Schools, you will need a high GMAT Score along with a strong OVERALL profile AND you will need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you apply to. While retaking the GMAT (and scoring higher) would likely help your application, if there are significant 'weak spots' in other areas, then you'll have to properly improve those areas before you apply to any new Schools (and by extension, your time might be better spent on other issues instead of on the GMAT).
You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement.
There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
If you do choose to retest though, then it would help to know a bit more about your prior studies:
1) How long did you study in total?
2) What study materials did you use? What "brands" of practice CATs/mocks did you use?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
