Hello all, I needed advice and a profile review.
Here is my background
I have given GMAT 6 times now in pst 2 years, but the score simply isn’t improving. I dont think I will attempt the Gmat again, 1 because I have exhausted my 5 attempts for a year, so cant give exam till May and 2nd because frankly i don’t think I have in me to give one more attempt.
I am an Indian male with a 2.5 years of exp and aspire to be in T30 schools, ISB or BITSOM. NUS, NTU, Texas Mccombs, Judge and Kelley
My professional exp include discussion with international clients daily, managing a team of 7 for SWOT analysis of my team of 130+ members, leading 2 prodjects having a revenue of nearly 300k pounds and also have led engagement sessions with directors of the company.
I have a Masters in transportation engineering from BITS pilani(T10 school in India) and ok undergrad score from relatively not so well known college.
I ran a content writing venture during masters for 2 years and handle 5 resources. And have 2 research papers, 2 articles and 2 awards in national conference in the field of civil engineering.
What do you guys think of the above profile. Is there any chance to get into above mentioned schools? Also, which school would you think are within my range for the above profile.
Thanks

Hi Arjun123321 , I hope all is well!
Your profile has several strengths, such as good academic credentials (BITS Pilani for your Master's with an 8.27 CGPA), leadership experience, entrepreneurial initiatives (your content writing venture with notable revenue), and impactful professional achievements (international client interactions, team leadership, and project management worth £300k). Your research contributions and awards further demonstrate academic rigor and initiative.
However, your GMAT score of 595 is a significant limitation, particularly for ISB, which typically expects a GMAT score closer to 710+ for the highly competitive Indian male applicant pool. T30 schools in the U.S. and programs like BITSOM may still consider your application holistically, but your score may remain a hurdle.
For ISB, the chances are slim given the score. For BITSOM or some lower-ranked T30 schools, your entrepreneurial and professional experience may help balance the lower GMAT, provided you present a strong, clear narrative.
If possible, consider retaking the GMAT aiming for a 700 or higher score and broadening your school list to programs that place greater emphasis on professional achievements over GMAT scores and explore test-optional schools.
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to discuss your profile in detail to gauge your chances to identify the best-fit schools. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.

Thankyou for such a detailed review. Unfortunately, wont be able to take GMAT till May of this year, since exhausted all my attempt for this year. Can I improve my chances by getting a certification from MBA math?
