Ask Admissionado

Dear sir,
I am from India. I took the gmat but managed to score 620(Q-47,V-29)and AWA-5 in my 2nd attempt. In my 1st attempt I fall ill and managed only 560. I am from NIT(most prestigious college in India after IIT). I have a GPA of 9.02 out of 10. My college name is NIT Jamshedpur. I am presently working as an Assistant Manager in India's largest automobile company Maruti Suzuki. Presently, I am having experience of more than 2 years and a month. In my company, I have been graded as a star performer in previous year's appraisal. I won two awards in my company for my project-1)Best group performance for new initiatives for newcomers and 2)Best inhouse automation project.I have a good academic record. 10th-86%, 12th-88%. Also I was 3rd in my branch during my course of engineering.I also have a national scholarship in the field of drama.I was the co-ordinator for many events during my college tech-fest.

I am not going to apply in the top 10 universities of USA as I have financial constraints. I am looking for good US universities with fees approximately $40000 to $50000 and also some good colleges in Canada where I have chances of getting admission.Please help.

But Sir, I heard that too many attempts of GMAT leave a negative impression on the admission committee. Is it true? I know retaking is a good option. But still with this score of 620, can I aim at the state universities like IOWA,SUNY BUFFALO and some good colleges in Canada?

Regards
Abhishek

Sure Sir. I will consider your thoughts.
