Hi,

I am looking at applying to top 5 schools. It will be great if you can take a look at my profile and provide feedback. I would really appreciate. I was expecting a lot more on my GMAT but had a bad day and want to know if it is worth trying again.

Nationality: India
Masters from Purdue: 3.63/4.00
Total Exp: 6years

GMAT: 710 Q49(87) V37(80)

Age: 28

Work Experience:
1+ in manufacturing in India
2+ in IT in india
3+ in Financial Services in India

More: I have a very compelling personal story and was wondering how much impact that makes.

I know if i study more and try again can score 750+ in GMAT but want to know if this score is enough to get me into Kellogg? I would really appreciate your help.

Vinayak

At this point in time and assuming that your undergrad grades were good, I recommend you apply with your current score. Many applicants to Kellogg are accepted with this score and a 750 doesn't guarantee your acceptance either. For now, invest in your essays and the other application elements.

A compelling personal story can make a difference if told well.

Best,

"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."
