Hi all, I gave my GMAT today and scored a 610, Q47 V28 IR 3. Deeply disappointed in myself. I had prepared rigorously from 1st November onwards. My initial MGMAT score was 540, V32 Q33. Thanks to GMAT club, I was able to improve my score from Q33 to Q47. However, my target score for this attempt was 650-670. This is just a brief background, now I need all your help in determining whether I should apply to B-schools or not.
Target B-schools :
1st Pref - ISB Hyderabad/Mohali
2nd Pref - INSEAD, IE Business School, EDHEC
This is my present profile as of now:
Work experience 3.8 years
- Associate in one of the top global investment banks
- Working presently in business intelligence and engineering (Transitioned from ops based role to a tech and data analytics based role)
- Saved over 150 hours of work through my efforts in the same space.
- Consistently been a top performer through out my career.
Educational qualification
- Certified Alteryx Designer
- Passed CFA level 2
- GPA 3.0 from Christ University, Bangalore, India
- Bachelors in business management, majored in Finance
- 75% in my class 12th Board examinations (CBSE Board)
Leadership roles
- President of my corporate toastmaster club.
- Backstage head for college production house.
Apart from this my interests lie in automation, robotics and fintech. I want to do MBA to rebrand myself as a fintech person. My hobbies include home automation projects, gaming etc.
Honestly, guys I feel defeated. I know I am going to get up dust myself and get a better score, atleast a 100 point improvement, but as of now, I really need to understand what should I do? Some people feel that I have a good profile and I should go ahead and apply, others are telling me my probability of acceptance is less than .1
I really could use some help and motivation!
Thank you in advance

1st try may not give you the best, you need one/two more attempts to make. Good Luck

Hi adityan92,
To start, your 610 is a nice improvement over your initial 540 CAT score - it shows that you have the capacity to learn and improve. Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet to have scored higher. The Verbal section of the GMAT is as consistent and predictable as the Quant section is, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. That having been said, to raise this score 100+ points, you're going to have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
Goals:
4) What is your exact goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
