More about me:
28 yo/Indian/Male/BTech IT
GMAT - 710 (Q49/V38)
WorkEx - 5+ year Analytics Consulting (1.5 year in London)
GPA - 6.1/10, by far the biggest red flag
Admission Consultant from one of the popular names involved
As hinted by the title of the post, during the latest mba application sessions I applied to Tuck, Duke, Darden and Ross and I have already been summarily rejected by 3 of those schools(Ross most likely to follow soon), without interview to boot. I plan give this MBA thing one more "the old college try" and would really like some help in figuring out where do i go from here.
1. Darden has indicated that there is going to be some time in June when i can get some feedback on the application. Do other schools on my list also extend open feedback?
2. With my GPA is it all possible to crack the top 15? I do not plan to go beyond that as the probability of getting my ROI out of it takes a sharp nose dive
3. I already plan to increase my GMAT but is 750+ going to make the critical difference?
4. I hope to get promoted in next few months so there should be further progress on my WorkEx front but would 29 be old from US bschool perspective?
5. Overall any other suggestions would be great...
