Hi Stacy, Lisa,

Could you kindly evaluate my profile:

Overview:
Nationality: Saudi
B.S. Computer Engineering, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals 2006
GPA: 3.45 out of 4.0
GMAT : 610 (Q47,V27) I am going to re-take it in early October

Working Experience:

- 8 weeks of internship at Atos Origin Middle East
- After graduation I joined Booz & Company (Former commercial consulting unit of Booz Allen Hamilton) as a Business Analyst and was promoted to Consultant after 18 months (Present Job)
- Most of my consulting experience is in marketing and more specifically for telecom operators
- Will be having around 2.5 years of experience when I begin my MBA in fall 2009

Community Work:
- Worked on developing a pro-bono turn around strategy for a local philanthropic society as part of Booz support to the Saudi community

Achievements:
- Awarded for Atos Origin Scholarship for distinguished students
- Graduated with second honors
- Distinguished student in all academic terms
- Completed my B.S. degree one year ahead of my batch (in 4 years instead of the normal 5 year program in my university)

MBA Sponsorship:
- I will be fully sponsored by the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education

Personal Information
-Age: 24
- Martial Status: Married
- Native Arabic speaker and fluent in English
- Travels include Bahrain, Canada, Egypt, France, Kuwait, Lebanon, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, UAE and different states in the US.

Desired Top 10 Schools list:
-MIT
-Harvard
-Stanford
-Chicago
-Michigan

Desired Top 30 Schools list:

-Cornell
-Indiana (Kelly)
-Michigan State
-Ohio State
-Carnegie Mellon
-Maryland
-Penn State

My questions are the following:

(1) What is my level of competitiveness at the top 10 schools list and what GMAT score should I aim when I retake the test?

(2) What is my level of competitiveness at the top 30 schools list with my current GMAT without retaking it?

Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Hatem

Dear Hatem,

You do have an interesting profile in that you work for Booz and are fully sponsored by the Saudi government. I am glad to hear you are retaking the GMAT as you need to increase your score to be competitive for your top 30 schools. The range you should aim for is 680+ to be competitive. You are competing against a large applicant pool for all of these schools, and in particular the international applicants for these schools. There are many applicants with a similar profile but with GMAT scores over 680. It is important for you to present a compelling application to be offered a seat over someone else.

Good luck,
Lisa
