Given that you
1) have good score
2) have a lot of relevant work experience and
3) are a woman (there are still relatively few in MBA programmes)
you have good chances at most B schools and will negate the fact that you are from India (which is, from my point of view, a drawback when applying, just because there are so many Indians looking to go to B school).

There aren't that many one year programmes in the US, so take a look at the top ranked European ones (Insead, IMD, Cambridge, Oxford, IE, Esade).

I'm sorry if my opinion is a bit contrary to what the others state. You need to improve your GMAT.

*ALL* schools in the top 15 have an average GMAT in excess of 700. Having a 50 point lower score means you end up spending all your time/energy convincing why they should take you.

Simpler option is retake GMAT and try to bump up your Quant score. A 44 means a 68th percentile - does not befit an engineer at all (and I should add - from India from heavensake! ). Work on the quant part a little more and retake GMAT to score closer to the 700-mark.

Hi,

I'm planning to get ready for the applications for the next academic year.

Actually, I don't have a solid GPA, 2,5.

My work experience is quite well. I worked for Ersnt&Young, Loreal, Henkel and I'm working at GSK as a key accounts manager.

Next year, my total work experience will be 6 years.

Considering my poor GPA and combining it with my solid work experience, can I have a chance to be admitted to one of the TOP b-schools with a solid GMAT

Thanks for your comments.

BR,

You work ex looks good and surely if you get a good GMAT score you can compensate your low GPA.
