Hi Stacy,

I am an IT professional with 37 months of Experience in the Field Enterprise Integration. I wrote my GMAT and scored 640 (Q:49,V:28,AWA:5.0) . I plan to apply for FALL-10 session. I have tried to re-take the GMAT but the existing work pressue is not allowing me the same. These are the colleges I have shortlisted based on my profile and score.I am trying to pursue my MBA from Europe and Asia.

1.NUS Singapore
2.Asian Institute of Management,Manila
3. Nanyang Business School
4. Manchester Business School
5. Warwick Business School
6. Lancaster Business School
7. Melbourne Business School


As the score is a bit less , I plan to apply at the earlist i.e. in R1 . Do I stand a change to gain an admit in any of the above colleges. If no, where all should i give it a shot?

Your help would be appreciated

Dear bhavyabhandari,

Perhaps; it depends on how strong your overall application is and whether you can distinguish yourself from the applicants with a similar profile. Your score is on the low side for an Indian engineer, but decisions are based on more than a GMAT. Use your essays, recommendations and resume to your advantage.

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your response. I had one more concern on the query put forward. Does my score stand in the eligibility range of the shortlisted colleges. If no, then which all are the ones from the list where a strong distinguished portrayal of my profile could make the admit possible.Being an Indian IT professional, the profile would more or less be similar to the competing applicants.

Ideally, you want your GMAT score to be at or above the average to be in a competitive position for your target schools. If you are within the mid-50% range of GMAT scores, you still have a chance but the rest of your application needs to be exceptional. If you are below the mid-50% range, then it will be a tough hurdle. Since your education and experience are over-represented in the global MBA applicant, your GMAT needs to be more competitive. Also, relative to other Indian engineers, your GMAT score is a little low. Thus the rest of your application needs to be strong, making a compelling case for your admission.

Hope that helps,
Lisa
