I intend to apply to Manchester School Business with the following profile :

Nationality : Indian
Age : 26
GMAT : 670
Work Exp : 4 yrs ( 2 yrs as shipping and operations exec + 2 yrs as asst trading manager)
GPA : NA ( I've been advised that there is no need to convert the Indian scoring system as the Univs are aware of the scoring system)
Decent Extra Currics...

I know that my chances depend on my entire package ( essays, recommendations etc etc), however, based on what I have mentioned, what are my chances of getting into Manchester School of Business?

Other UK B-schools which interest me are Cranfield, Oxford and Cambridge....Any comments on these options?

Thank You,
Best Regards.

I cannot stress more on the beauty of the 'entire package' as you put it...But I can see where your thought process is coming from, and that's what I'll try to address.
To answer your question - Yes, you have a shot at Manchester. Median scores for Indian applicants have been traditionally higher than yours at Oxbridge and Cranfield, but it's unfair of me to comment so expansively. Scholarships are a long shot though in all four schools.

Getting a scholarship hasn't even crossed my mind.....my first priority is getting in

I will attempt the GMAT once more before I start my applications....in any case the application process will start somewhere in Oct'11. Thank You.

Hello Ryandmitri , AS rightly said earlier , the median GMAT score of Indian applicants is little higher , however GMAT is not the only indicator of your calibre as a applicant and its the whole application package that counts .

"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."
