Hi Sr/Mam,
I gave my GMAT yesterday and scored a very poor 630(Q50 V 23) .I was hoping to apply to a foreign university for a MSF course as i want to go into finance field .I have done my engineering from a good Indian university.I have a GPA of 3.30 .No work experience .can i apply with this score anywhere and have a descent chance of being accepted or should i give another gmat in one month as i believe i can score above 700 this time but i cannot spend that much money if i can get in any decent college with this score and I cannot also apply to all the colleges and spend all the money on applications if i dont have any chance of getting in.Can you offer any advice?

Hi rathi47,
Thanks for your message. I reviewed your profile similar to other candidates' profiles when I worked as part of a top tier program's admissions committee.
Although I understand your concern for your GMAT score of 630, I feel that this is not my main concern across your candidacy. Even if you score a 700 or a 770, I am not too worried about this aspect or your GPA of 3.3/4.0. I think you will be a strong candidate for a top 10-15 school.
My main concern is that you have 0 years of work experience. This is the only area I will ask that you strengthen is the years of work experience. I will encourage you to apply after a few years to MBA programs. Ideally, it would be great to wait until you have 4+ years of total work experience. At the end of the day, the quality of work experience is more important than the quantity of years. Candidates with 3 years of work experience are accepted but schools prefer 4+ years. Programs tend to be fair and understanding but you will have to ensure that you communicate your personal and professional background effectively.
Do you know why I want you to gain work experience before applying? Let me show you...
The more work experience you hold, the more likely you are to contribute to classroom discussions and be a valuable asset in the academic environment (especially towards fellow students). Now, your b-school grades entail 60-80% on what you contribute from your professional work experience across class discussions & group projects. The less work experience you have = the less you will have to contribute = the lower your grades. It is to your personal benefit that you have 4+ years of work experience when attending so that you can be successful in your b-school classes.
I hope this helps you. If you would like to further speak directly with our consultants who are former admissions committee members or our recent admits at any point, please visit https://macapproved.com/free-evaluation/
Best wishes,
Sue and the MAC Team

Thanks for replying.I fully understand your argument on why it is necessary to have work ex for a mba program.But i want to apply to a Masters of Science in Finance ....Do you think i would need experience in for that program too??I do not have much knowledge on this because not many colleges have these courses.
