I have completed my engineering graduation in 2008 and i joined in banking sector (public sector bank) in 2009. But i am in clerical department and i rejected promotion 3 times due to some family problems. Eventhough i rejected promotion, i got a good reputation in my bank and in clients also as i am very good at work and i have also cleared 2 banking courses. Now i want a good career.So if i seriously try for gmat, can i get an admission with good b schools.

The answer to your Question is "YES" You can expect call from good universities. Government job is much appreciated when you apply for B-Schools.

But you have to get good score in GMAT (min Target 680+) and then write an impressive application.

All the Best!!!

Hi sasikiranpeddiraju,

The application process to Business School is several "pieces", including the GMAT. If you plan on applying to a highly-ranked and highly-competitive program, then the process becomes even more complex. As an example, Harvard typically accepts about 10% of the applicants to its MBA program, even though most (if not all) of the applicants were amazing applicants. This means that there's far more to the process than just a good GMAT score. You'll have to work to make sure that you have a strong overall application AND that you "sell yourself" correctly.

For now, the focus should be on the GMAT. It's usually best (if possible) to approach one piece of the process at a time. I suggest that you start by thinking about what schools you'd be interested in applying to, then do some research into application deadlines, admissions requirements, average GMAT Scores, etc. This will help you to set your own expectations and put together a timeline/plan. Once you have defined some of those details, then you should start with the GMAT.

Hello, sasikiranpeddiraju! It sounds like you have a solid career path and a good reason to want to go to business school. So that is great news! Your GMAT exam score is one of many factors schools consider in admissions, but you are correct that a strong score will bolster your application.

You may want to re-post this question to one of the admissions forum threads on Beat the GMAT. This forum is to ask questions to GMAC, the makers of the GMAT exam and, unfortuantely, we cannot advise on admissions strategy specifically. Good luck!

"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."
