HELP - GMAT Score 710 - Singapore Applicant

Question

Hello everyone,

I am from Singapore and have scored 710 (IR8, Q46, V42) on GMAT.

I have 4 years experience in Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals Industry.
Undergraduate School: National University of Singapore
Undergraduate Degree: Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy)
Undergraduate GPA: 3.5/4.0

I am aiming for the following schools:
1) Northwestern
2) Chicago
3) MIT
4) Stanford
5) UC Berkeley

What do you think are my chances for these top-tier US Universities?

Should I revise my list to the mid-tier US Universities to stand a higher chance?

Thank you for your time!

Hi there,

Without knowing your complete profile (such as extracurricular activities and your ethnicity), it's tough to say how competitive you will be at the top-tier programs. However, your quant score is low, so I would suggest adding some mid-tier schools to your list. I hope this helps, but feel free to reach out at https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact if you'd like to discuss further.

Best,
Shaifali

Just wanted to check why ain't you considering colleges such as NUS and INSEAD Singapore in your list ?

Thanks for sharing your profile. Not much info to go off but the data points and your region. I would say you’re low on the GMAT and if you get lumped into the competitive Asian applicant pool you will probably be in trouble. The going rate for most of the schools you’re targeting is a 730 / 3.6 Split so that should be where you’re aiming for with the GMAT
