Hello Mihir

Your GMAT score is a little low for your target schools. Your GPA is outstanding and can offset your GMAT to some extent. Your GMAT is okay for Nanyang and NUS. However, for all the other schools a 650 with a 47 on quant may not be enough especially for NYU - Stern, Sloan, Booth and Columbia whose average GMAT exceeds yours by at least 50 points. At the same score with a 50 or 51 in quant I would have suggested you to go ahead. In this case I would advise you to retake GMAT and improve your quant score by a few points and not risk your application getting rejected only on the ground of GMAT.

Tell me more about your work experience and your post MBA goals. Any extracurricular activities that you have been part of? Any achievements in Google or during college?

Do get back to me

your current GPA will be outstanding ALONG WITH can offset ones GMAT to be able to some extent. ones GMAT is usually okay pertaining to Nanyang IN ADDITION TO NUS. However, intended for each of the different schools a great 650 having a 47 in quant can not become enough especially pertaining to testking 70-341 whose average GMAT exceeds yours by no less than 50 points. for the same score that has a 50 or 51 throughout quant my partner and i would have suggested anyone to be able to zero ahead.
