Hi there!

So I wanted an unbiased opinion on my chances of getting into a good b-school in the US. I am an Indian woman with commerce background. I completed my Bachelors of Commerce in 2012. I am planning to apply for fall 2018 intake and my total work-ex by then will be of almost 5.5 years. I have worked in the corporate field as a Market Research Associate for 2 years and post that started up with 2 of my own firms, one of them being an education firm and other a marketing consultancy.
I have a 3 year graduate degree with an aggregate of 55% and have taken the gmat thrice- 2013: 590, 2014: 530, 2017: 620.

I'd like to know that according to my profile what ranking of schools should I look into? And how do I know the right college for me? There is loads of information out there and a lot of it is misleading. Where and how do I start my research from?

Thanks in advance :)

Hey there,

Great to hear from you!
I’d love to help you out but without more info it’s gonna be hard.
What I need especially is more information about your companies: How big are they? What;s the turnover? How many employees to you manage? What's the growth? What are your goals?

Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements? Do you have notable community service or extra curriculars? Which school did you graduate from?

All of these will play important roles in your evaluation.

Secondly, and this might be clear - you need a better GMAT if you want to get into good schools.

Right now my main recommendation for you is to put ALL of your energy over three months to studying for the GMAT with the objective of breaking the 700. It'll make a huge difference.
:)

I hope this helps
Best,
Jon
