Hello everyone.
This is my first post and it is a desperate one.
They say that if you ask enough number of people you will eventually end up at the right answer.
This forum has been of immense help to me.
Thank you.
I took the GMAT 3 times and here are the stats:
1. V27(47%) - Q50(87%) - AWA6.0(90%) 650
2. V26(44%) - Q50(87%) - AWA5.5(71%) 640
3. V31(62%) - Q51(97%) - AWA6.0(90%) 690
After the last attempt I figured that GMAT is not really my cup of tea. However I am planning to write it again.
But before that I wish to apply to a few universities and try my luck.
I have targeted a few universities.
The European universities: HEC Paris, INSEAD, IESE Business School and IE.
The Asian Universities: NUS
Names of any universities that I might have missed are welcome. Please note that I want to pursue a business degree in Operations and Supply Chain.
I have over 3.5 years of experience in an Offshore Oil and Gas Extraction platform as an executive officer. I hold a technical and a semi-managerial post. I have some volunteer work under my belt as well. I was hoping that my out of normal work EX and my quantitative score might help me get into a decent MBA college.
I am a little confused.
The Main question: Is a 690 in the GMAT enough for the targeted universities with my profile?
Thank you all for your help.

Hi Abhiroop
- 690 is right on the edge for HEC and NUS, and seems a bit short for INSEAD. If you are looking at NUS, consider NTU as well. The deadlines for both NUS and NTU are some time away, giving you some time for a retake. On the GMAT front, it is verbal that is clearly your bane, and we do see small but significant improvement in that over attempts. If you can dedicate a month-45 days to focus more on that part with dedicated resources/classes (if your schedule allows) you should be able to cross 700, and even get to 720-730, which boosts your chances at all schools.
- IESE and IE should consider you at your current score if you put in strong applications.
- Maybe you should look at adding top Canadian schools - Ivey and Rotman - if they suit your selection criteria otherwise.
- Have a look at this article as well
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

Balancing your post Abhiroop, also remember the adage - too many cooks... 
Here's another cook then with some reflections:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
Here's another cook then with some reflections:
- It will be important to understand more about the profile. Simply the industry is not good enough. You have to articulate what differentiates you in that; there isn't really a huge dearth of O&G applicants so you gotta dig deeper.
- You have not mentioned your educational pedigree. That will be an important determinant for overall prospects. Since you've tried and are close to this conclusion, it might be better to start focusing on other parts of the application instead of going there again.
- Another factor to understand would be the nature of your international experience and ECs. Both are very relevant. Read here and here.
- Finally, I'd recommend you to also consider specialized programs such as MIT-ZLOG for S&O professionals.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
