Hi,

I have given my GMAT today and got 680 (49Q,33V). However I have attained mastery level(90%) in TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication).

I am working with Big 4 as a Senior Tax Analyst for last 3.5 years. I have graduated in taxation and commerce with a GPA of 3.8 and I had aggressive career growth. I work for Las Vegas practice and majority of my clients include Casinos and Oil & Energy Industries. I worked in the environment of versatile cultural diversity. I have handful of community and extra-curricular activities which include different leadership roles. I write quotes and poems as well.

My key questions to be answered are:

1) I am willing to apply for IESE this year. Will my profile be considered unique and standout?

2) Can my weak percentile in Verbal(64%) be compensated with that of my high score in TOEIC?

Your help in this regard is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Sai

Dear Sai,

While tax accounting experience might not be that unique, working with the gaming industries and some of the largest casinos in the world could be. Hence, look at your professional and personal experiences to determine how you can leverage them to distinguish your application from the large applicant pool.

A high score on the TOEIC, recommendations noting good communication skills, and well written essays will all help mitigate your verbal score on the GMAT. Likewise, if you interview, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your proficiency in verbal communication.

Good luck,
Lisa
