I have a similar query.

I am a Engineering student (final year) from India.
Age - 20 years.
Please evaluate my profile for HBS 2+2, LBS MiM, IESE 2+2 and other MiM programs.

A brief on my profile:
- Founder of ngoFuel.org - recd and won several awards from NEN, BootCamp, NASSCOM, TiE etc
- Working with a social start-up What's up Bharat? where leading a vertical in wh has 2 Million INR investment - whole project has initial 15 mils investment
- Ex-Director at LetsGraduate - online finding platform for needy students - won Oxford B-Plan Competition
- Kairos Global Fellow 2011
- Selected among 2 Indians to represent India in World Foresight Forum, the Hague
- Featured in various medias incl HT MINT - full page article
- Core Committe Manager of ACM Chapter (College)
- College fest coordinator certificates
- Recomm for ED of NSEF, Director IBM, VP of a VC firm, etc
- Boards - 90+
- CGPA - 8.71/10.0
- Worked in several LIVE projects

My previous GMAT score was 610. Could not study properly. Giving in again.
Targeting 700+, is this good enough?

Also, are there any good MBA programs where I might have a shot with no formal work-ex?

Thank you.

Some of the good programs:
HBS 2+2
LBS MiM
IESE 2+2
Duke MMS

My main aim is GMAT right now.

I don't think language would be a problem as such.

GMAT Score:730

vaibhavgupta, thanks for your question.

On this forum, I am not permitted to give general feedback on your CV, but I am empowered to provide guidance on specific questions you have.

With regard to a GMAT score, there is not score that will guarantee you admission to any program. Typically, a 700 overall score with 80%+ on both the verbal and quantitative sections will ensure that you are considered.

Of course, applicants with lower scores but strong experience often gain admission, and applicants with 800 GMAT scores are not guaranteed admission. So, it is a holistic view of what you bring to the table that matters.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Brian
