Yesterday i gave a 2nd shot to GMAT and again failed.
I am really disappointed and demoralized. I am thinking of applying to few Canadian colleges
I am very sure i dont have any chance in Indian schools like ISB etc.
Could you please evaluate my profile and let me know whether should i go ahead and apply or try again to get a decent verbal score .

Undergraduate :Metallurgical engineering from NIT( reputed college in India)
GPA : 3.2
Years of experience : 5years 2 months
Industry : IT Consulting ( working in accenture consulting. For the last 1.5 years i am working in Canada and have really good exposure to the canadian work culture . I have good networking in consulting industry as well in Canada)
EC : Decent EC but not great .
Have 1 national level merit award for my marks in Standard 12 Board exam
Part of a Junior Achievement School program in Canada

What are my chances in Rotmann/Schulic school of business.
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Jim,
I appreciate your help and advice.
I was also thinking in the same lines. I know if i try i can surely improve my verbal score as i was able to do the same in my practice tests which i took before the exam .

Gmat Prep 1 : 690 ( QA51 VA 34) (4days before exam)
Gmat Prep 2 : 720 ( QA50 VA 37) ( 2 days before exam )



A good Verbal score will push my score as well.

But i have the following concerns:
1. Will taking the exam multiple times create a negative impression at the time of application
2. I am weak in SC and RC. How can i improve these ?
3. I have a habit of making multiple mistakes in the first 10 questions . I have to increase my concentration as well. I feel as i am not confident in Verbal section , i always get tensed at the start.
