R2 Applicant - Help needed with Shortlisted Schools

Question

MBAPrepAdvantage · Answer

Per ETS’ conversion tool (https://www.ets.org/gre/institutions/abo ... rison_tool), your GRE score translates roughly into a 650 GMAT score. What Indian university did you graduate from which can help us in evaluating the other aspects of your academic background? What have been your roles at Accenture and Bosch?

Also, what criteria led you to shortlisting the schools you listed?

Thanks,

I think you are a solid candidate for these schools. Really, the only weakness in your profile is your very low GRE score. If you could bump that up, you could aim for more competitive schools.

Yes, it would be worth a shot to apply to those schools with your present score, but a higher score will help your chances (including merit awards). So, ideally, you would retake the exam and prepare your applications.

I hope this helps.

Good luck,

Hi Vidhya
You have good score and GPA. You have a solid work experience. Your extracurricular activities look impressive as well. So with a well written application I don’t see a reason why you cannot get into any of the top schools. A mere mention of roles you played in your job does not help you in your application. You need to show some results in that position and stress how you worked and lead your team/organization in achieving them. If I were you, I wouldn’t apply to the above schools. I would take out Wisconsin, Olin, Mendoza, Carroll and add Wharton, Faqua, Kellogg and Darden to that list. With a nicely crafted application you can get into any of these schools.
