Hi there,
This is a request for a profile evaluation. Quite honestly, I am not so sure of improving my GMAT score. I just came back from the exam center, and I scored a modest 620 ( Q47,V29 ).Awaiting my AWA scores.
My Verbal score is not this bad to be honest, I normally score around 34-36 range ( or that's what Manhattan, Princeton and Gmat Prep, tells me ), but I suffer from ADHD, and keeping my hyperactivity under control towards the end of the exam is quite a challenge.
The result is always a messed up verbal score. I tried my best to convince GMAC about my disability, but the problem is the exhaustive documentation that they need. I am from a small town in India, and I would never be able to get the documents that GMAC needs to prove my disability, which is right from my early childhood days. ADHD was completely unheard of in India and I believe it still is in small towns, and GMAC wants a complete history of the disability at hand. I am not complaining though, if that's how it is, then so be it.
A bit about my profile, total work experience of 5 years, and quite unfortunately, I fall under the ubiquitous 'Indian IT Male' category.
Education - MS ( Computer Science ) - CGPA 8.16 ( out of 10 )
B.E ( Computer Science ) - CGPA 7.2 ( out of 10 )
I work for IBM, and I have decent international exposure - although I do understand it's nothing to sing praises about.
On top of my work specifics, I have also completed the following certifications,
CABM ( Certified Associate Business Manager ) - Certification Authority, APBM.
GSS ( Global Sales School ) - IBM International Sales Certification, Certified by IBM US. ( But I am not a Seller, nor am I involved in the business vertical ). I work in the capacity of a senior programmer. I completed both these certifications to support my profile.
As for extra curricular activities , I have received an IBM global prize for making a Video on 'Save the energy campaign'.
I am also a Yoga Instructor, a musician and an amateur painter.
I have also done an internship with an NGO to create health care awareness in rural India.
As it is for all Indians, my top choice is ISB ( a bit of a long shot with my GMAT score I presume ), but yeah, a dream is a dream.
My second choice is SP Jain GMBA ( Singapore, Dubai and India ).
How would you rate my chances? Would you give me a 'Thumbs Up' , a 'Thumbs down', or a 'Maybe'?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

. But I also became aware of my limitations, and that i have to work within that scope.
