Vijay,

Thank you for your post. I recommend retaking the GMAT in order to give yourself the best chance of getting in. Your demographic is competitive and with your age and work experience, if you could increase your score (IR included), you would have a better chance. Have you considered tutoring? Contact us if you would like to hear how we could help!

Hi Vijay,

You have strong profile with 8.5 years work experience.You can also target Rice University, Rochester Simon. If you can retake GMAT and improve your score then you can improve your chances. Scholarships are decided based on overall profile and not only your academics and GMAT so focus on your application which carries more weightage and do well.

Regards
Manish

VIjay,

Our simple suggestion will be to retake GMAT by Nov end ( may be you are already doing that) and improve GMAT score by 30 points. Also, IR 2 will be a dealbreaker. So, work hard to improve that as well.

With your profile and better GMAT, schools you have mentioned are all achievable.

Feel free to contact us for any queries.
