Hi Rahul,

Aside from studying for your GMAT to improve your score, I would concentrate on thinking about how you will differentiate yourself from your demographic pool. It's great that you have significant volunteer experience, that will be a huge help. You don't have a great deal of work experience, so you'll want to think about why now is the right time for you to pursue an MBA.

Your consultant can give you personalized advice on school selection. In the meantime, you may want to read the sticky thread on school selection in this forum.

Good luck!

Amy

Hi Rahul,

Your essays are a good place to work on differentiation. Adding leadership experience, perhaps through volunteer work is another good way. If engineering/technical work is what you want to do, then you should definitely keep doing it, though that is definitely a typical career path for high achieving Indian applicants.

Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
