Hi,

You have decent academics but GMAT seems to be on lower side but don't worry your strong academics might help to certain extent,but still to make your profile more competitive suggest you to retake GMAT and score minimum 650+. Then the next step is to shortlist the schools based on your career goals and start working on your applications without much delay. You can consider applying to schools like Queens, Rotman, Ivey, UBC Sauder, Schulich. Ideally you should look at applying to minimum 5-6 schools to increase your chances.

Thanks Manish for your suggestion. I completely agree with you that GMAT score of 650+ would make my profile competitive, but I want to take one chance with the same score of 620. Also,apart from Queens, Rotman, Ivey, UBC Sauder, Schulich, what is your say on Concordia University John Molson School of Business and Ryerson University Ted Rogers School of Management.

Few more queries :

1.I am planning to come back to India after completion of programme. Would "Career Services" at these colleges help me to find a job in India.

2. What is the value of degree in India from one of these business schools.

Hi Nishant,

Concordia and Ryerson University both come under top 10 schools in Canada so you should apply to both. I feel Ryerson University will be safe school for you. If you look at most of the employment reports for Canadian schools majority of placements happen in Canada or US/UK. It is not much difficult to find a job in India if you are doing MBA from reputed well known B-schools, I can also connect you with one of our application consultant, who is alumnus of Schulich and currently working in India. Please PM your contact details.Hope this helps.

Regards,
Manish
