Hi all , please give me some expert advice and guide.
I am an engineering graduate(Female) from India with 80% aggregate in graduation and no work experience. I wish to pursue MASTERS IN FINANCE (pre-experience) from a prestigious school.
I gave the GMAT last year and got a dismal score of ---->> 560 (Q40,V27) with AWA -4.0 & IR-5.0
I gave GMAT again this year and still did not make great improvements --- >> 600 (Q48,V25) with AWA-5.5 & IR -2.0
I feel my score is very unbalanced this time and hence I am confused about what to do . R1 application deadlines are close , please suggest me do I have some chance of getting accepted in nice B schools such as OLIN business school (st. louis) , Boston college (Carroll) and Simon fraser (Beedie business school ).
Additional details -- I have had two internships in India itself during my under graduation. I have one research paper on finance. Also, I was and I am actively involved in various clubs and activities. Doing community service as well.
Kindly help and oblige .
Thanks in advance.

Hi sukriti24,
You might want to post these questions to an Admissions Consultant (or at the very least, in THAT forum). The Q48 is really good, but the other numbers aren't impressive. Business Schools know that some applicants just aren't great Test Takers, so if your overall application is suitably impressive or interesting, you could be accepted with the scores that you have. An Admissions Consultant should be able to provide a more detailed perspective.
