Hi

I have been following Your posts and i thought may be you can clear my confusion....

I have a very low GPA 44% Scale 100 But according to my university i fall under 75 Percentile . Work experience 5.5 years mainly in consultation...

I am prep for gmat but my average score is around 620...

What i want to know is that i am looking for top 40 US b schools...IF not then i will do a part time mba from my country India.....

Kindly suggest me what to do...what are my chances....

Hope to hear from you, Thanks in advance

With a 44% and a 620 you are gonna have a very tough time of things. The thing is with such a low GPA you are gonna have to have a) a stellar GMAT b) a very very good story as to why you got a 44% to get accepted.
Hope this isn't tooooo disappointing for you, but I thought it better to come straight out and state it, dude. So either retake your GMAT or maybe apply to a PT Indian program.

Hi Jon

thank you for your sugession, Well trying hard to improve GMAT and well i can show that i was studying and working simultaniesly, Which made it little difficult for me to score good.

And another part is i have done a diploma in aviation as well i scored GRADE A , /If at all they consider it.

Thanks

Although the aviation thing is very cool and I AM very jealous, since it's not exactly an academic pursuit I'm not sure it's gonna be that helpful. I would definitely go with working a bit more on the GMAT. Hit 40+ points higher and suddenly a world of possibilities opens itself up for you.

"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."
