Hi Akshay,

Your WE seems to be fine, but you have not mentioned the number of years you have worked.

Regarding school selection as per your GMAT score, I would not apply with a 590 .I would retake GMAT, score a decent 700+ score and then begin researching schools that match my interests and goals.

I hope it helped.

Hi,

My WE is 3.5 years.

Thanks,
Akash

I would think that you will have to take your Verbal score to the 75th percentile (atleast) in order to be a serious contender for the top 10-12 programs. With your excellent quant score, and 75th percentile in Verbal should take you very close to the 700 level overall and with your profile and WE you will have a good chance at a lot of the top programs.
