Hey Lisa,
I have been following your response for posts on the forum and like to thank you and your team for helping MBA candidates.
I am also writing you for your suggestions regarding my MBA application profile. I am an Indian male who completed master in Environmental Engineering from a well known university in USA. I am working as an engineer in an environmental engineering design firm since Oct. 2005, and I took few leadership responsibilities, which include starting a sustainability team in my office and designing drinking water system for a poor community in a South American country. I believe that in my application essays, I can show that I am leader with strong moral, social and environmental concerns.
I took GMAT in Aug scored 640, which is on the low end of the spectrum for good schools. But, I am planning to take it once again on Sept. 3rd and I am expecting that I will be able to achieve a score between 670-710. My target school are -
- Duke,
- Darden,
- MIT Sloan, and
- Kenan-Flagler (UNC).
Most of these schools have average GMAT score 680 and more, which I am expecting to achieve in my next GMAT attempt.
My concerns are - firstly that I am in too competitive group, Asian males, and my application may fail because of being low on GMAT. Secondly that I am planning to apply in UNC and Duke in "early action" round, but I think that I have only few weeks to complete my applications and get them reviewed before the deadline.
I will appreciate if you can provide me your comments on my eligibility as a MBA candidate and will be thankful if you can address my concerns.
thanks,
