Hi,

I was planning to apply for the MS Finance in nice decent B-Schools, Have got 2 yrs of exp. in IT MNC (Fidelity), working for major international banks including Yorkshire Bank, Bank of America and FDIC.

Education: I did my B-Tech Computer Science 65% (Indian Standards, Don't know equivalent GPA, But i know it doesn't sound that good either)
I have a very decent extra-curricular in almost every deptt except finance.

Now, the major blow for my chances was when i took my GMAT, expecting a 700
i got 610 [69% (Q 47(79%), V 27(43%))]

I felt totally shattered Sad
for atleast a week after taking GMAT, didn't thought of applying , did just nothig. Felt frustrated!!!


But, now i feel like giving a try for Finance masters in schools like
HEC, Paris
IE Madrid
Queen's canada

This is where i have already sent my GMAT score while giving GMAT (Not mentioning LBS, yes i sent my scores there also)

I'm preparing for CFA L1 June as well!

It would be so nice if someone can sggest me anything as how to go for the applications. where to apply? (If i should with this score at all)Rolling Eyes


Thanks a ton for your suggestion,
Pankaj

Dear Pankaj,

I think you have two options. First, you can go ahead and apply but select schools with GMAT averages closer to your score (600-630 range). You could still apply to a few reach programs, but you definitely want some reasonable choices in the mix. Or, you can wait and apply next year giving yourself time to retake the exam to increase your score. Think about it and decide which is more important to you--starting school this fall or going to a school on your current target list.

Good luck,
Lisa
