this is a nice mix of schools, in terms of reach (Darden, Ross), match and safety, but there really is not enough information in your post to suggest where your candidacy will really fit. Leadership, goals, community service, profile etc. cheers, alex

Hi adabalateja,
From the perspective of test score alone, your score falls close to most of your target schools. Olin, Darden, and Ross are bit distant (nearly 50-odd points), though.
Having said that, your GMAT score is one of several gears in a machine and it is mainly treated as a hygiene factor. You need to put up a solid application taking into account factors such as those mentioned by Alex.

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out- you don't say what pool you are coming from as that 650 GMAT could be a little off or a lot off depending on what pool you are in. But as far as your list- I would say that Darden and Ross are pretty far stretches- but that you could be in play for some of the other programs. And showing interest in a particular school and having a compelling reason why you want the MBA can make the difference. So I'd really do a lot of research- visit if you can- if not go to online chats and email current students- find out how the program can help you achieve your goals and then really make sure the school sees your passion for the program. That can go a really long way- remember GMAT is just one part of the puzzle- it is important but there are a lot of other important parts too! Best wishes- and if you want to learn more about how we can help you- please go to this link for a free consult!https://stratusprep.com/free-consult/adabalateja wrote:Hi

Hi,
There are many steps to getting admission in one of the top MBA universities in USA. It is very important that you have one of the experts guide you through the process, whether it's about selecting the right MBA program or university in USA or setting up a personal and professional goal. Please keep in mind that it's not about selecting the top ranked universities, instead the focus should be on choosing an MBA program in USA or university that is right for you - given your background, finances, gmat score, etc.
I suggest you check out EdElevate - an overseas consultants in Delhi NCR region with over 15 years of experience in helping students get admission in one of the best MBA programs in USA. You can contact Sakshi Mittal at +91-9899101239 or visit their website at www.edelevate.com.
Hope this helps answer your question

Hi @adabalateja- the list you have is good- I think Virginia (Darden) and Michigan (Ross) are really stretch schools with the 650 GMAT but with many of the other programs if you put together a compelling application you could be in the hunt. I'd also think about adding Rice, Wisconsin, BYU, Penn State, Simon and Krannert.
