GMAT-600 (V49,Q23) wanted to apply for general management 19 Dec 2014, 21:23

Hi,

I have given gmat on 12th Dec 2014 and got 600 marks. I wanted to apply for US-B schools for general management.

I have done graduation in computer engineering and have 4 and half years of MNC IT experience right now.

I wanted to ask are there any fair chances for getting any decent B-schools in US.

I am also willing to apply for gmat one more time but I'm worried about missing the deadlines.

Approximately how much score is required for general management executive MBA in US B schools.

Please help me and guide me.

Thanks & Regards,
Bhushan Fadnis

Hey there - so two things. One, at 4.5 years of experience, you're not the target demographic for EMBA. You're way too young. A part time program, perhaps, but if you're international that has separate issues. As for your GMAT, yeah, you have to retake it. With a 600 as an Indian/IT/male, you're out of the running for most of the programs out there. So retake it - and if you have to wait until next fall, I'd strongly suggest considering that!

On a side note - just noticed your verbal score. If you can bring that up to the low 30s, you'd be amazed at what your GMAT score will turn into!

Hi Bhavnik,

Thanks much for your kind help.

Actually I misplaced the numbers it's Q49 and V23. I am ready to retake the exam but I am worried about missing the deadlines.

I don't want to miss this year and very much looking forward to getting admitted in this year.

What do u think would be good month to retake exam so that I would be pretty much eligible to apply for B schools. Also how much score do u think would be required ?

Regards,
Bhushan Fadnis

Hi Bhushan,

I agree with the above comment. If you are targeting Executive MBA programs, you are too early for this. EMBA programs are designed for the candidates having more than 8-9 years of work experience. There are couple of B-Schools you can target with your current profile and GMAT Score like- Purdue, Thunderbird etc. But, if you are looking for top 50 B-Schools in that case I would strongly suggest you to retake your GMAT and target 680+ GMAT Score and apply next year.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1Iu9fP4

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hey Bhushan - if you're serious about applying this year then the time to get that GMAT score, unfortunately, was a month ago. R2 deadlines will soon be here and for a lot of programs, that's the last deadline for international. And if the school accepts international applications into later rounds, they're ultra competitive because not a lot of seats are left.
