Hi all!
I am from India and am willing to go for GMAT but I've got loads of problem. Please help -

My Timeline -
2005 - Completed my 10th Std with 59.40 %
2007 - Completed my 12th Std with 75.40 % in Commerce with Information's Practices subject
2007-08 - B. Com (Hons) Sem I & II
2008 - Cleared CPT on one go for my parents wish
2008-09 - Took a gap in my B.Com (Hons) course
2008-2011 - Undertook my CA Articleship and cleared my PCC during this
2009-2011 - Completed my B.Com (Hons) Regular from a (FALTU) College with 66.XX %
2011-Present - Stuck in CA-Finals due to my VERY slow writing characteristic and lack of commitment

So my current age is 25 and will clear my CA-Finals by Jan 2016.

About Experience -
I have been engaged in Free Lancing Accounting and Teaching Jobs. But not in a full time job. So I guess my experience counts as a big Zero as even Articleship of 3.5 years won't be included in that.

What I like to do -
I was always in love with Finance and Information Systems and wanting to do MBA but since my parents and relatives forced me into CA, I couldn't go for MBA. But I am thinking of it now through GMAT.
I am good with the reasoning thing but had to do some work on my language part.

Problems
1. Don't have the requisite experience to go for the top 50 B-Schools. So Should I go for a 2 years job after Completing my CA and then go for GMAT ? But then -
2. Age a factor ?
3. Financial problem. Am I eligible for Education Loan or Scholarship or something ?
4. Don't know which Course should I aim for in MBA and which B-School would be good for me.

I am totally confused on what to do from here on. Please Help me :(

Also I just gave a free test on some website without knowing what the whole course is. And got 440.

Well a good place to start is the GMAT. :)

I'd say take the next 3-6 months to study, take a course then take your first real exam after you feel like you have reached your maximum, and then once you get your score back, you can start thinking about when and where...

Cause with a 440... well... :)

But what about experience ?
Should I build my profile in the next 2 years and then go for it.

Thanks for sharing your background. You are correct in trying to build your experience. No matter how high you score on your GMAT, no full-time experience without a unique or compelling storyline won't do you much good. If you're serious about a strong MBA program, take a couple years to build on your experience. Find a full-time position, and within those two years, find opportunities to lead teams and truly make an impact. At that time, you'll be 27-28 which is still near the average age at a lot of good MBA programs. Now, to go back to Jon's point, your GMAT will need to be strong. Given your background and profile, you should aim to score above the median for your target schools. Hope this information helps...best of luck on your journey!
