The Application Process

B-Schools selection: Help needed


Hi guys,

I am Engineer from India. I have a work-ex of 7-years in IT (1-2 yrs International Exp). I wrote my GMAT few days back (690, 85percentile Quant, 69 percentile Verbal).
Want to do 1-year MBA and need to come back to India (if I go abroad) within next 2-3 years (after settling the loan). I am not sure which B-Schools will be best for me.
1) I personally feel that Europe and US might not be good destination because of High Cost Involved there. As cost is high, I think I will not be able to settle the loan in 2 years of time. Please comment on this.
2) As per my Understanding, ISB and IIM (Executive Program in India) are good for me. But how are the B-Schools in Singapore for my profile type (having NUS, NTU and Insead in mind).
3) Do I need to write my GMAT again so as to have higher chances of selection or is this score good enough for My Experience (Provided I have a good IT Sector Profile).
4) Is it advisable to go for some professional service for my Essays.
5) How good with be to get LoR from a US Based Client with whom I have worked (CTO of a Medium Sector Financial Company).

Please advice.

Regards,
Shikhar

Hi

Your score is good enough for ISB, but for IIM its a bit on the lower side. You experience level can make up for it along with good essays and interview performance.

With your mindset I dont think NTU and NUS will be right for you.

LOR from clients are always good but they should have harmony with overall application. Applications should always reflect a single "you".
