Hello there
Could you evaluate my profile:
Indian/Female/32 years
Bachelors of Arts (Maths): First Division (3.5 GPA)/ Top 5 schools in India
Masters in Marketing Communications: GPA 2.9/ Highest rated communications school in India
Work Exp: Have been working in market research for 8 years. I have worked with both public and private sector clients. I can boast of working with some big clients like USAID/Levers/Nestle. I have led teams and made presentations at large forums. I have worked on a lot of international studies. I have worked for six years in the US and now I am working with a leading MR company in the US.
Awards: 3 professional awards in my belt
Extra Curriculars: Strong but not exceptional.
- Indian classical dancer
- District leader of women's division of a religious and social organisation promoting peace in 200 countries
- Painter
- Reiki healer
Sore Point: My low GMAT score of 650 (Q 45, V 33). I have taken GMAT twice and I am circling in the same range. My previous score was 620.
The schools that I am targeting are Kellogg (dream school), LBS, Cornell, Haas and Yale. Do you think I stand a chance? Or will I be rejected outright because I am an Indian. Do you think adcom will be aware of the Indian schools I have been to will be able to assess my academic capabilities from that? I can retake GMAT but with R2 deadlines approaching I was thinking of foscussing on my b school essays.
Can I counter my low verbal scores somehow? Any suggestions on doing that? I have strong English, but CR and RC in limited amount of time is something I have not been able to crack.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
