Hi

I gave the GMAT(first attempt) and scored a 680(Quant - 49, Verbal - 33).
I am planning to apply for MBA classes starting in fall 2015.

My profile reads as follows:

GMAT 680
work ex : 20 months (Software Developer)
Graduation : B.Tech(College Topper) - 77.7%
12th : 79.2%
10th : 80.8
Indian Female (Age 24)

Can you please evaluate and suggest me which colleges can I apply to. I am planning to apply in round 2.Almost all the colleges have their second round deadlines in January.
I know I have less work ex and Gmat score is also below level, but still if I really want to apply, what can be the reach colleges for me. Looking for MBA in Finance.

Thanks in advance!

Well, since your GMAT is low, it's late in the year AND you don't have enough work experience, I'm thinking you should wait a year or two and retake that GMAT.

Here's a post for you written by our Head Consultant, Yaron about Indians retaking the GMAT. You might find it helpful: https://bit.ly/B613Mgc

Best,

Agreed - definitely wait. You need time to build up that profile, get some more experience under your belt, and bring up that GMAT. Good luck!
