hi Stacy,

I'm an MBA aspirant, looking to apply to the U.S for fall 2010. I took my GMAT recently and managed only a 560. While this was lower than my average in the mocks, I'm contemplating applying with this score itself.

I'm from India and work with a leading/global strategy consulting firm. Main area of expertise in technology consulting and market research, in which I have 2 years work exp. I have a moderate academic record (UG/high-school). I do have some community service contributions and a few other extra curricular achievements to back me.

How do you perceive my chances considering the above profile?? Could you please list about 5 schools wherein I stand a healthy chance for admission. Additionally, it would be of great help if you could provide a rank-range(with the name of the ranking-survey) for the schools that I should ideally be targeting.

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to your response.

Dear iwish,

Unfortunately, I do not think you have much of a chance of being admitted to a US MBA program based on your post. As an international student, you are competing against a large applicant pool for a small number of seats, and the competition (especially from India) is quite stiff. Your 560 and "moderate academic record" will be significantly lower than other applicants. I encourage you to consider retaking your GMAT and doing some additional research on both MBA programs and the admissions process.

Good luck,
Lisa
