Thanks for the additional info. TR is a well known company so that will help. Your GPA is low though -- do you feel you could increase your GMAT score if you tried again? Might be worth giving it another shot, as that's the best strategy to counteract a low GPA.

I also wonder whether this is the best time for you to apply? Most applicants have 4-6 years experience so could waiting another year help? It might give you time to get promoted? Or add some extracurriculars to your resume? Those things could both help.

I work in Thomson Reuters.
I have working there for 2 years and have no promotions yet.
I did my bachelor's in technology in mechanical engineering from Delhi Technological University , india which is in country's top 20 list.
I have not done any volunteering but did few extra curricular activities but I don't think they mean much.

With 710 score and low cgpa 6.1 out of 10, how much easier it will be to get college.

I work as associate in intellectual property in mentioned company.

Thanks Kate

If I wait another year, surely I will get promoted.
I will try to give another shot but what if 710 remains my best score.

What extra curricular activities I can add to stand out in this coming year?

With the profile as of now, can I get some college in range of top 50 to 70 ranking?

Yes, if you decide to apply now and with your current score, then I think that range of schools is possible.

There are lots of options for extracurriculars -- charities or other volunteer organizations, alumni organizations, professional networking groups, sometimes even hobbies can count too if they are something you get very involved with.
