Hi All,
Few pointers before you look at my profile:
a>Planning to apply for the class of 2017- i.e. MBA starting 2015
b>GMAT is coming up in 2 weeks. Mocks have been projecting a 650-700 score. Do not have time to retake and you will know after reading my profile.
c>I would want to change to Marketing post MBA. Want to relate the experience gathered in gathering sponsorship for sailing round the world to post MBA plans.
d>I want to go to a top B school in the US. If not I am looking at Rotman/Ivey or European B schools. Worst case NUS/NTU.
