Hello ,
I gave GMAT in August but got a very dismal score of 640
I want to join the 2015 batch of MBA
I am mostly keen on entering Canada or Singapore and shifting my job profile from technical to managerial .
Please can someone let me know my chances and how positively should I apply .
I dont have much time to retake the exam and mostly will be eligible for round 2 of Rotman , Sauders in Canada & NUS and NTU in Singapore .
Do I have chance of getting scholarship
Following is my profile
Score : 640 (QA48 , VA 29 , IR 2)
Indian , Female , Married
Experience : 6+ years
Sector : Oil and Gas
Lead teams in many projects , Client and Vendor Negotiations
Overseas Experience : 1 year
Acads : 90% (Class Tenth) ; 77.5 %(Class Twelve) ; University : CGPA 8.58/10
Decent Extra curricular activities in college and school
What improvements can be done in my profile.

Well,, it's not thaaaaaat dimsal, even if maybe it is less than you hoped.
Well I think the first thing to consider is: Can you get a higher score? And is it worth the wait? I can't really answer the question for you, but you definitely need to consider your options all the way through.... especially since your GMAT is your main weak point.
I do have a post that MAY help you think retaking through, and you can read it here: to-retake-or-not-to-retake-that-is-the-question-indian-153716.html
Otherwise your profile looks pretty nice: female, with leadership experience, AND experience abroad. You work in a great industry, and have a good amount of experience. You graduated with an excellent GPA.. so basically everything is in order. Only that pesky GMAT score!
Let me know what you think...

Thanks Jon ,
Read your post . Agree Indians are expected to score higher , but I dont have much time to retake the exam as I am desperate to join MBA in 2015 and nearing deadlines .
I am just counting on my profile /gender to work for me .
Just a general questin , Do adcoms read our essays in other words is there any filtering based on GMAT score at the initial stage itself that doesnot allow further chance of getting evaluated.

). I mean, sure your GMAT is lower than average, but since you are in a rush, then just take your shot.
