Hi

I took my GMAT a couple of weeks before and scored only a 700?

I plan to apply NUS, NTU, CEIBS, SDA, IESE, Purdue.

My profile is mentioned below:
1. Indian Male, IT background, Age - 24 years
2. Undergrad - Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science), Pune University, India - 65% aggregate. Graduated in 2009.
3. GMAT - 700 (Q50, V34, AWA - 4.5)
4. Work Experience: 24 months (as of December 2011)

Current position - Working as developer in Tech Mahindra on British Telecom projects.
Performing several roles including multiple tasks.
5. Extracurricular:
I was General Secretory of computer department in college.
I was Treasurer of CESA (student organisation)in college.
I was technical section head of college annual magazine.
6. Awards:
Won several awards and recognitions at workplace.
Was best outgoing student of department.

Considering My profile as Indian IT male :( and low work-ex do I stand any chance?
Also can you please suggest me some b-schools in Europe and Asia with 1 year program.

Hi,
There are a lot of applicants with backgrounds similar to yours. How can you differentiate yourself from these other applicants (professional, community service, personal story)? Also, as you mention, two years of work experience is on the lower end of the range for business schools. Without a lot of experience, you will need to be able to communicate a clear career path. You will also need to show that you have solid experience related to your career path, have demonstrated leadership, and are a mature candidate. You mention winning workplace awards - what did you get those for? Would any of the work performed help to tell your value/leadership story? Regarding which programs are best for you, there are a lot of factors to consider - curriculum, geography, program size, etc. I would recommend you look at the program sites to get a feel for which one meets your needs.
