Hello,

I have a low graduation percentage 61%.
I recently gave my GMAT and scored 740, essay 6 and IR 7
I completed my graduation in 2010 and worked with an MNC for 2 and a half years and left it when i was senior software consultant.
I started my own creative agency. have some wonderful success stories and some amazing failure stories. As soon as i realized that i am doing something very wrong, which i have no idea about. I left my drowning business in march and started preparing for MBA and recently gave GMAT. As of now i am working as a core member of an NGO where we provide education to underprivileged children and orphan children.

Do i stand some chance to make it top 15 business schools despite my low GPA but with amazing sine curve of my career and a good GMAT score?

Hi Vaibhav,

As GMAT mentor I have been blessed to see various cases like yours and I would be happy to inform you that you definitely stand good chances in top 15 B-schools. Low academic scores definitely affect the candidature of applicant however due to your GOOD GMAT score a part of it can be well compensated for and the goodness of your application can really improve your chances in those B-Schools.

Only suggestion is that you need to really work hard on your application to make a really good impression of your work profile by highlighting the points that deserve to be noticed and appreciated.

All the best for Application!!! and Congratulations for great GMAT score.

"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."
