Hi,
I graduated with an engineering degree in Information Tech in 2006.

I have about 5+ years experience in Market Research and am currently a team lead at a Market Research firm. Over the years I have had several roles but my primary responsibilities have revolved around data analysis, project management, business development and internal practice building efforts.

I have a score of 600 in GMAT and I will not be able to take the exam again.

In this regard I have 2 questions

1. Where can I get information on schools that are known for their MBA Marketing Programs?
2. Which schools look like a good fit based on my general profile mentioned above

Thanks in advance for your response.

-Smita

Regards,
Smita

Hi Smita,

You can find a list of schools known for marketing specialization here
https://www.apphelp.co.in/top-marketing-b-schools.html

Honestly 600 is way to low to target any decent B school. Top 80 schools in US have GMAT avg of more than 600. At 600 you can look at

Arizona Eller
Saunders
Iowa State University
University of Connecticut

You can also look at following 2 school in Canada:

University of Alberta Schools of Business https://www.apphelp.co.in/Alberta-MBA-Cl ... n-Tips.htm

Brock Uniersity https://www.apphelp.co.in/Brock-Universi ... n-Tips.htm

Hope this helps.

We would need to know more about your profile than just your GMAT score which admittedly per the other poster is low.

Are you a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident?
Are you from an underrepresented minority group or a country of origin that traditionally scores lower on GMAT exams (hence making your score more competitive versus those in your country)?
What are other aspects of your profile that might be compelling?

You can look at schools with higher average GMAT scores than 600, but the degree to which you are competitive would be determined by answers to these and other questions.

I would also suggest you retake the exam (even though you stated this is not possible).

"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."
