Hi,

Please advise me on whether I stand a chance of pursuing a one year full time MBA program in Sep 09?

My profile is as follows -

10th standard - 80%
12th standard - 85%

BBA Honors (specialisation in Finance) - 69% from St.Xavier's College (Its amongst the top 5 colleges in India for under-graduate degree in commerce) -

Work Ex - 2 yrs (by the time the course starts) in KPMG in the Risk Advisory Services.Also,actively participating in the CSR initiatives of the firm.

Extra- Curriculars - Have won accolades in a number of Quiz and Debate competitions and while in college,initiated and conceptualised an undergraduate level management convention.Also,was the university topper in one of the subjects.

Professional achiievement - Have gone on 2 international assignments and have led a team once.

Now for the sad part - Took GMAT for the second time and scored a dismal 530 (Unfortunately became ill during both attempts)
What are my chances if the other aspects of my application are stellar?

Thanks and regards,
mbaaspirant01

One year MBA programs tend to have very competitive admissions processes. Unfortunately, your GMAT score is a big disadvantage. You should either attempt to get a higher score (give yourself a lot of structured preparation time) and/or gain more work experience to be a more competitive applicant.

Hi Scottie,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.I wanted to apply to the one year full time MBA program of the following schools -

1. Emory University - Goizueta Business School
2. Hong Kong University Business School
3. Nanyang Business School
4. Rotterdam School of Management - Erasmus University

Also,isn't taking the GMAT for the third time considered negatively by the universities?

Would appreciate your feedback.

Kind Regards,
mbaaspirant01
