I am not worried about your GMAT. If you read some of the posts on this forum or throughout the web, you will likely see that there are many applicants with profiles similar to yours. In order to stand out to the admissions committee at any top school, you will need to expand upon your personal goals, interests, activities, passions, etc... What school is right for you depends upon what you are looking for in a school, what are your goals?

Hi Stacy ,

Thanks for the reply and your feedback.I do understand that one's goals and interests matter a lot while applying to any b-school.I just wanted to ask do I stand a chance in top 20 US b-schools given my low gpa and average work exp and avg. gmat score. I apologize for not making myself clear.
Another thing which I want to ask is about the difference in european and US business schools.What advantage do US business schools have over european ones?

With Regards

You do stand a chance! You are just going to have to work very hard on the other aspects of your application and story.

I do believe that if you want to work in the US, you are at an advantage with US schools. You will benefit from the local alumni network, school reputation and recruiting.
