Hi All,
I got a 690 on my GMAT recently(Q-50, V-33).
Not that magic mark !!! but still i am satisfied...
I am a guy from Engineering background. So, i think this Gap in above 2 scores is not new in this thread.. 8)
QUANT:
My Experiance in quant was a bit tough though..
I used to get 48-51 in practice tests... However, on exam day,
I spent almost 4 minutes each on 2nd and 3rd question(i think i guessed one of them)...and after that, i got some easy questions. This made me a bit tensed.
But i used to save enough time in prep tests at the end..so the thought gave me some confidence.... and rest things went fine. I could feel difficulty level going high in later questions.
VERBAL:
My Verbal score was expected in initial thirties.. (was getting near 30 in all preps)... I scored 33 in exam..
I joined Princeton, but i think it was not useful for me, Manhattan SC and other books are more useful..
About me:
I am working in a software company in India with 2 years Exp. as for now.
My Eng degree was 68%(Electrical)..
I am fine in extra curriculars(Won a few prizes Dance, Sports etc at college level and Participated in two State/National Olympiads at school level )
My targeted colleges will include one's with Good financial aid (Not that desperate for top schools.. but aid + School Rank will be important factor for me )
Please suggest me 1) if you could give me a few names that i could look for 2) Need suggestions on which MBA i should go with...and 3) if i should wait for another year to apply(so as to add another year to my exp and make it some 3.5+ )
Thanks!!!
Rachit.
