Hey Guys
I intend to pursue MBA in Finance from Canada and i have bifurcated the schools i wish to get into. In the order of preference:-
1. Rotman /Schulich
2. Ivey
3. Sauder
4. HEC Montreal
I have scored a 600 and 630 on the GMAT and because i have been consistently getting 690 - 710 on the official mock i have my 3rd and final attempt in 16 days.
I did my Grad in commerce from Delhi University with a 71 percentile. I have always been exceptional in finance with scores ranging from 90-99th percentile all my life. Have my work x of 5 years in 2 private companies in India - One in Finance and the other in Marketing /Finance. The companies are not MNCs however pretty reputed within the country. I have LORs from the directors of the company and multiple LORs from my professors in the university (if academic LORs help). Besides this i have played cricket at the national level ( again im not sure how much this helps). I have undertaken two seperate projects (One was for a educational insititution and one was horticuluture) where i was appointed to do an indepth analysis and make a PPT to be presented to the relevant authorities and shareholders.
I have missed the 1st round deadline for most of the schools because my GMAT score was miserable. If i do apply in the 2nd round, with the above profile can someone weigh in and advise me how much is the minimum i need to send the scores through to the above schools. Until now i have cancelled both the previous scores.
I would highly appreciate if experts can advise if i should wait for 2021 or go for it this year . Financial Aid is also something i intend to achieve.
Regards
Sambhav

If you plan to relocate to Toronto, whuch is probably the best spot for post MBA jobs, I'd recommend that you include Queen's and York on this list in addition to Ivey, and luckily the first two have a January start. Ivey has a *March* start so those deadlines have yet to begin. in either case it gives you a few weeks (or more, for Ivey) to pull that test score together, but I would certainly not neglect the importance of the application... work swiftly to secure a better score and put together really solid apps.
You would have to apply to the later or latest rounds for the other schools; yes, it would benefit you to have a better GMAT score going in. going in as an Indian with a low GMAT in a late-round is not ideal and I think it would be a flat-out waste of your time.
It would really benefit you to apply as early as possible being Indian.
if you don't want to wait a whole year you might think about focusing on January deadlines, take a look at this link and see what I'm talking about,

I recommend that you get a tutor to fast-track things, and it's never a bad idea to see where you might fall on the GRE even if you haven't studied for that.

Thank you so much for your response. I will review the link and check the schools you have listed.
However, prima facie with the profile i have, what do you think should be the minimum threshold for sending the scores out? I do wish to stress on the need for merit based financial aid.

It's my firm belief that Indians need to have a GMAT score that is 20 points over the class average in order to be competitive, even with an excellent profile. More so if it's a male in it and less so if it is a female in a less represented industry. But for you I'd say at least 20 points, so the answer for that would be based on the class average for each School. A financial aid is important to you you will need to have a good high GMAT and frankly you're going to get more Merit offers where your GMAT is well over the average. essentially they're bribing you to come there.
