I am an Indian female candidate with almost 4 years of experience in IT and have been working with Infosys Limited throughout. I have a CGPA of 8.19/10 (from state univ) as per the Indian scaling system. I wrote the GMAT today and unfortunately could not score as per expectation - a 640 (Q47, V31). This was my first GMAT attempt and I feel quite spent already. I had been targeting the following univs mostly:

HEC Montreal
Univ of British Columbia
Univ of Toronto Rotman
Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University

Nanyang
National University Of Singapore

Cambridge (Judge Business School)

Am I targeting schools way beyond my league?
Though like most Indian candidates I do not have any extraordinary extra curriculars to boast of, I had actively participated and had undertaken responsibilities in organizing 'Each one teach one' initiatives at school where students were required to teach children from nearby slums post school hours. Though its a thing of past I mention it because I had been doing it for 7 years while at school. Also I think I can manage good recos from workplace, at least one from client side (client is Amex) and another from a senior project manager. Further I have received certificates of appreciation for quarterly performance at financial business unit level and also for performance in projects. In light of the above data, can you please evaluate if I stand a chance at any of the business schools that I mentioned or if possible can you suggest me decent schools that I should apply to?


Thanks in advance!
