Ask Stacy Blackman

Hi Stacy

I'm an Indian engineering graduate with 2.5 years experience in the banking industry.
My GMAT score-770
Q-49
V-47

My TOEFL iBT score-120

I've been promoted twice in my job and occupy a managerial position so I think I can leverage that. But my undergraduate performance is very bad(70%) and also I have no extracurricular/community activities to talf of.
I'm looking to apply for Fall 2008, so could you pls tell me where I have good chances. Do I have a chance to get into a top 10 school?

Hi Alex213,

Your banking background could be helpful and it's great that you have done well at work. Your GMAT is very strong which may mitigate your lower grades in undergrad.

I think you have a chance and should focus on demonstrating how much leadership and management skills you have gained through work. Any extracurriculars should be highlighted as well.

Good luck!

Amy
