Hi sudhama22!

At risk of repeating what we just said in another post: We need more information from you in order to help choose schools. Your GMAT score is good but it doesn't help you stand out from your peers in this super-competitive space. The fact that you're female, and have work experience in marketing, both helps you, and your grades look good - however we don't know anything about what you want to do with the MBA. The schools on your list are among the most selective in the world, frankly - plus your verbal score on the GMAT is a little low. (We just talked about low verbal to someone else in this post: https://www.beatthegmat.com/need-help-re ... tml#490861 ) Your current verbal is only 74th percentile, this could be a concern for many of these top schools.

How the schools react to your app depends on your pitch - which depends on your career goals - which you haven't shared with us. :-) If you want to offer a few more details on the criteria you're using to select your schools then we can maybe be of more use here. Right now it's tough to see the commonalities between these schools, it feels somewhat random.

You've come to the right help for support and info - Beat the GMAT is a great place - welcome to the party! :-)

Career Advancement does not provide any greater clarity about your career goals. If you could have your ideal career path, what would be your positions and roles? What would be your industry? What challenges would you undertake? These are some of the questions you might ask. These goals (along with other factors) would help narrow the list of potential schools.

Hi Sudhama22,

Agree with Essaysnark that you have few differentiating points like female and marketing background. I am not sure if your extra curricular and community service experience was long enough and made meaningful impact otherwise it can also be a differentiating point.Research the schools well and see if they provide you the resources for your career goals. You may like to contact current students/ alumni of these schools to get more information. Most of the schools will be happy to connect you to current students.
