Good Experience, but I do feel your GMAT score is 30 points low.
But I suggest you to go for it....

Good essay & recommendations can fill the gap

Best of Luck

hi

even I am planning to apply to RSM for spring intake.
My profile is as below
GMAT-700
Work-ex-2 yrs 10 months
Extracurricular--not so great
But I have heard that RSM generally doesn't accept candidates with such low yrs of work-ex as mine.
Any idea on this?

Thanks!
Prachi

I know a guy who got into RSM with a little less than 4 years of work-ex.
Why don't you directly talk to the adcoms?

This year, I got rejected by RSM with a 680. I always thought I'd try to offset the low score with exceptional essays.

Suffice to say, my essays were prepared with painstaking effort. During the course of my interview, I let it slip about the effort I had put in. Adcom actually mentioned in my interview that my essays were extremely well written. That acknowledgement was kind of weird I know!

So, other than the essays, there are 3 places I might have faltered - interview / application strength / GMAT Score. I felt I gave a pretty good interview, my application is pretty strong, given my Indian IT Male profile though. Based on the other admits, I felt my GMAT was the only sub-par aspect of my application.
Please make your inferences. However, I wish to say this is purely my opinion. Not to be taken as a standard.

"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."
