Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi DZoKEr (AKA Palash!), First congratulations on your 770 GMAT. Certainly you don't see that every day.Your GPA is not quite in the same range. While there may be some programs that will take you without work experience, to get the most mileage from the 770 GMAT you really should combine it with some great work experience too. You have a realistic chance at any program in the world- seriously- with the 770- but only if you combine it with meaningful work. You did not mention your targets after college for work. I would suggest leveraging your Economics coursework into something that is related to finance- this will also set you apart from your pool if you can work in an area beyond IT, which is far more common. Of course the most important question is what do YOU want to do? I'd spend some time on this and put some effort into finding the most challenging and interesting and cross-cultural work that you can and do it well for 3 yrs and then take that 770 and the MBA world is your oyster. We work with candidates in profile development to help people to plan a successful path to the MBA program of their dreams. You can private message me or go to our website at stratusprep.com to find out more about that. We have 30 min free consults which would explain how we would help someone like you to make the most of their work experience to position themselves best for an M7 MBA. Best wishes to you!
My name is Palash Singhal. I am a final year undergraduate student pursuing a dual degree in Electrical Engineering along with Economics from BITS Pilani, India. I took GMAT on 9th July 2016 and have scored a 770(AWA 5.5, IR 5, Q51, V44). My current CGPA is 7.62/10. With my current situation, I am confused as to which programs around the world can I apply for where I have a realistic chance.

Profile:-
2 internships- Mostly technical in nature
Extra-Curriculars:-
1. Member of college basketball team for one edition of sports festival of the college.
2. Member of Enactus Chapter of the college. Was part of the team which worked with a group of rural women to enable them to generate a part-time income using their cooking skills.
3. Member of Photography Club of the college.

Please help me evaluate my current profile and suggest future options where I can think of applying.

Thanks
