Profile evaluation

by SmitaBiswas » Fri Jun 29, 2012 9:12 pm
Hi,
I graduated with an engineering degree in Information Tech in 2006.

I have about 5+ years experience in Market Research and am currently a team lead at a Market Research firm. Over the years I have had several roles but my primary responsibilities have revolved around data analysis, project management, business development and internal practice building efforts.

I have a score of 600 in GMAT and I will not be able to take the exam again.

In this regard I have 2 questions

1. Where can I get information on schools that are known for their MBA Marketing Programs?
2. Which schools look like a good fit based on my general profile mentioned above

Thanks in advance for your response.

-Smita

Regards,
Smita

The rankings boards generally rank schools by discipline, so if you look under marketing, you should be able to see the list of top marketing schools. With a 600 GMAT, you are in the position of having a good score, one that should get you into b-school, but not one that will help you stand out from the GMAT perspective for the top schools. You should certainly try to get into as good a school as you can, and may be able to get some attention from schools who are good, but perhaps not as much in the spotlight as say, the top 15. I would look at top 10 public b-schools for some hidden gems as well as the top 15-25 overall.
