While my short term goal is to pursue a career in Management & Strategy Consulting ,my long term goal is to be an entrepreneur. Could you evaluate my chances in getting in the above universities.


I was also thinking of applying to Singapore univs(NUS and Nanyang). But how are the job prospects there? Esp. for the kind OF profile I am looking for?

I am considering to give the GMAT again within a few months with better prep and targeting a score 750+. But please let me know my chances for the above universities with my current score and profile.
Final queries :

1.Is it mandatory to hv completed 2yrs of work experience before applying to any B-school?

2.Is completing 2yrs of work ex by the time the school starts treated as having 2yrs work ex in the application?(For example if i apply right now with 14 mnths as work ex, but i will be completing 2yrs by the time the school starts).

Overall, I think you may be rushing things a wee bit. Yes you can apply with 2 years experience, but the fact is that most schools like to see between 4 and 5. Plus for the schools at the top of your list, with your current GMAT the chances will be very low indeed.

So I suggest, taking your time, retake your GMAT till you break that 720 threshold (if you can do better, AWESOME!) and think about how you can spend the next year or two improving your profile (more leadership, more volunteer experience, more promotions, and better achievements). This will likely help you out more than anything else.
