Hey guys ,
I have been a silent spectator of this forum for like three months and used to regularly check the experience of other guys and see them score awesome on their G-day. So I decided to write one too , but I haven't scored that well in my exam , 560 (Q 44 V 23) , the result was really shocking as i was doing pretty good in kaplans , gmat club tests, grockit and other sectional exercises.
I was confident enough that I will score 30 in V which will bring my score up to 650 , but i got so tensed at the center ( as i reached the center late ) that I screwed up my maths too. I did OG12 , kaplan premier , Kaplan 800 , barrons GMAT, SC CR bibles and a lot of practice . But in the last week I Just did one exam as I had my practicals and project Vivas in college which took almost last two days.
My profile:
GMAT = 560
IELTS = 8.0
Academics = 79% (till six semester)
Extra curricular = Strong
Sports = excellent ( national level player)
My other test scores :
570 gmat prep1
580 gmat prep 2
580 barrons
580 gmat prep again
600 kaplan 3
600 kaplan 4
630 veritas
640 kewton
Now the main thing , The reason I call myself Young and Restless is because I always wanted go to a B-school right out of my college , and I have been doing all the needful for it like taking part in all the college activities , leading clubs and making societies.
I am presently a Student pursuing my Btech( IT), final year.
All the consultants and University officials i spoke too said that my profile is good but the only reason I will not get the B school of my choice is that i lack work-ex. So , for the last month i searched all the B-schools in canada and came down to :
1. Dalhousie Univeristy
2. Carleton University
3. Wilfrid Laurier University - laurier Co-op
4. Edward business school - University of Saskatchewan
5. Mcmaster university -degroote school of business
which accept students without "workex" in their CO-op programs ,and were appropriate for me before giving my exam as I was not aiming at Top notch B schools. But now that I have score of 560 in hand , I dont think I should apply as it will be a wastage of money and chance.
Guys please suggest what should I do, If i apply to these universities what are my chances of getting call for interview. I really want to go in 2011 , What do you suggest for other colleges like NYIT Vancouver which does not need GMAT.
