Hello

I am 25 years old and below is what my profile looks like

GMAT- 570, 610 & 660 ( Q46, V35)
GPA- 3.5
Extra Curricular- Have been active in sports in school,part of CSR & Green Initiative at the company level, Volunteer work in AIDS awareness workshop.
Work Ex- Process Lead in Infosys ( former designation was Associate Consultant ), significant leadership experience- have lead teams across different domains, 4 promotions/progression in 5 years
Aspirations: Work for a Management consulating firm or company in New Media like Google, Facebook.

Questions

1. What Business Schools do I have a chance in? Would giving the GMAT again help, I think I can score better ( 700+)
2. Any possibilities of getting into a B-School in Chicago/near Chicago ( that's where I want to work after MBA )

PS- Already have an offer to join Rotterdam School of Management.

Kindly advise

Regards
Rachit

Hey dude,
From where I'm standing, your first step before you even think about anything else, is to retake the GMAT. I wouldn't even think about applying to Bschool as an Indian candidate without a 650+.
I wish you the BEST of luck!

Thanks for the frank reply Jon, so the question here is after taking the GMAT 3 times, with 660 being the highest score, would a 4th try at GMAT be considered a deal breaker?

.... especially if you believe you can get a 700+

Good Luck!
