Hello Stacy

Please evaluate my chances of admission. My profile is as follows

GMAT: 680 (43 Q (67%) and 41 V (92%))

I will have 5.3 years work exp as R&D engineer in a US manufacturing company by the time I apply to schools. I have been promoted after just 2 yrs on my job. I also have a Master degree in mechanical engineering from a US university with a GPA of 3.9/4 with a heavy math focus and have (A & B+) in all the math related course I have taken. I also have publications under my name

My undergrad is from India and my GPA is little above 7/10. Math grades in my undergrad are average only. I also have below avg extra curricular activity.

So based on the above profile these are my questions

1. Will my Master degree grades be given prominence by schools or will the emphasis be on undergrad performance? Will my math grades in MS offset my low GMAT quant

2. If so can my strong math ground in MS offset my low GMAT quant score (43Q 67%)

2. What are my chances in schools like Insead singapore and NUS singapore?

3. Would you suggest I re-take my GMAT.

Your response will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Dear vicrockz,

Your performance in your master's degree program is important and will be factored into your evaluation. It will, along with other aspects of your application, mitigate any concern from your undergraduate record. Based on your post, I think your academic profile is your advantage. Your potential weakness is more likely to be your lack of extracurricular activities. I don't know enough about your work experience and rationale for business school to comment on whether those will be an advantage or disadvantage for you. As for retaking the GMAT, I think you have to weigh the likelihood you can increase your total score by at least 20 points against your resources (time and money). You definitely do not want to sacrifice the quality of the rest of your application. You have the foundation for a competitive application to INSEAD and NUS Singapore, but to be truly competitive you must submit a strong, overall application.

Good luck,
Lisa
