The Application Process

Sir or Madam

My name is ANUJ SINGH . I gave my GMAT on 23 July 2014 and ended up scoring a disappointing 590 (Q40,V30) second attempt . I had spent around 45-60 days to prepare for the GMAT and the preparation was mainly concentrated on quant and improving speed. The verbal part on the GMAT was a quite a trouble during the preparation days , specially trying to keep up pace.

What I intend to do now is to use this GMAT score coupled with the application and try to get an admit. I am planning to retake my GMAT again in November and if the score improves , then use the new scores for further applications.

My profile :

GMAT 590 (Q40,V30)

Class X : 81% ,
Class XII : 77.4%

Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science : Overall 63.3% , with a final year %age of 70 [ Rajasthan Technical University ]

I have been searching around the net for the last 10-12 days in search of universities that take similar scores but it hasn't led me anywhere. Currently the university which I have in mind is Stuart School of Business at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago

Aim : MS in IT and MS in Finance

I have queries on following points , it would be kind of you if you could answer them :

1. My first question is how much is the possibility of getting admission in MS in Finance with that GMAT score ? I ask this because I prefer MS In Finance over MS In Information Technology .

2. My second question is how much is the possibility of getting scholarship with that GMAT score if i apply for a MS program ? I ask this because it would be of great financial assistance to me. But at the same time, it is crucial for me to get admission for Spring 2015 semester .

My undergraduate course was not related to Finance and nor do I have prior work experience to apply to Masters In Finance . What should I do to increase my chances of getting admitted into my desired course in your reputed university?

I suppose, I do not have sufficient time to start to work on & finish projects or papers related to Masters In Finance

Do I stand a chance ? Also it would be great if you could suggest schools that have a good placement record and accept this score. I would like to secure an admit and then plan ahead .

Thank you very much for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

ANUJ SINGH

Hi Anuj,

Since you do not have the related academic background or the work experience, you will have a hard time justifying your interest in Finance. Why do you really want to do a specialised course in Finance? What has bought about an interest in the field? Do you have any work experience?

Regarding your GMAT score,it is below average but you are on the right path with choosing to apply to a few schools before re-taking the exam. Good Luck and God Bless!

Hi Anuj,

Most of the MS programs consider GRE score, so you can also consider taking GRE once and these MS courses require minimum 600 GMAT and 310 on GRE and courses are highly analytical and to get admit they mainly evaluate candidates based on their GPA, GMAT/GRE scores so you should retake GMAT/GRE to improve your score and also start focusing on your applications soon to increase your chances. You can target schools like Ohio Fisher,Vanderbilt, Rochester Simon, Kelley,Purdue, Smeal, ASU Carey, Rutgers. Try Chances of B-school tool by clicking here https://goo.gl/11s5zu
