Hi,

I am new to beat-the-gmat. I have searched the discussion over here but didnt find exactly my question. Can you please solve my some doubts regarding MBA in US.

My Profile includes 550 GMAT score, 3.64 GPA, 3 years of IT industry work experience. still I have not given TOEFL.

I have searched for the MBA universities according to my profile through consultants here. Some consultants are saying univerisities are medium grade universities in 550 GMAT range and some are saying there are very few good universities which accept this score.

I am also interested in reapplying the GMAT test but 1st round admission deadlines are nearby for fall 2009 and I heard that shcolarship & admission chances are better in 1st round only.

Now if I apply in 1st round and get into some universities then I would like to know the campus of this universities and life after MBA.

I have heard that internation student will get 1 year work permit or if I get selected in any campus then employer will file work permit for me. Is this correct? How good campus are in my range universities.

Admissions are usually less competitive in round 1 however you still need to be a strong applicant. Business school admissions are very competitive this year and it will be very difficult to make it into a top tier program with a 550 GMAT (even in round 1).

Your GPA is strong however your work experience is in a field that is well represented in the current applicant pool. You will need to differentiate yourself and also score higher on the GMAT to be a competitive applicant.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I would like to retake GMAT but I want some time to improve my weak areas.

Thats why I have posted this query to ask about the future of mid-tier university. I heard that though u study in mid-tier university but if u perform well in those university, the future is very bright. the main thing is your performance during your MBA. Is this the case?

The main thing I want to ask is the MBA of mid-tier university or the MBA of the university in which I can get admission?

Can you also throw some light on the campus of the mid-tier university?

Regards,
Dhimant B.

My suggestion to you would be to research universities that are ranked in the top 40 - 50 range to get an idea of the class profiles, average salaries upon graduation, and the names of companies that recruit there. This will give you an idea as to whether the degree will be worth your investment of time and money.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
