Greetings,

I hope this message finds you in the best spirits.

I appeared for my GMAT today and scored a disappointing 710 (Q48, V40). During the course of my preparation I was averaging around 740-750, so I believe that my real score is a mere correction of reality.

However, the GMAT score will not be the main subject of this message.

Prior to the score, my list of dream schools was as follows(in no particular order):

- ISB, Hyderabad
- Booth, Chicago
- Johnson, Cornell
- INSEAD
- Harvard (kindly note the use of the words 'dream school' above)

Its been three hours since I finished my test, and after having cried out sitting alone in my room and consuming two bottles of aerated beverages I think its time that I start seeking expert advice.

I will have had 3 years of experience as a Product Planner with India's largest passenger-car manufacturer. I also have an illustrious graduate experience with very strong extra-curricular activities and a failed entrepreneurship venture to brag about. My academic performance has been more or less consistent over the years. (90%, 90%, 7.2/10 in Class X, Class XII and Bachelors in Engineering respectively.)

I would like your genuine feedback about my chances of getting an admission into any of the schools listed above.

I would also welcome suggestions of schools that might be comparatively more "reachable."

I shall look forward to your response.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. I'm sorry you are disappointed in your GMAT score. It sounds to me like you may wish to retake the test. If you strongly feel you can do better than you should give it one more shot. You want to feel good about your score since it is a big part of your profile.

The rest of your profile appears to be on par with what the schools on your list are looking for. You were a bit vague in your description of your extracurricular activities as well when they occurred, but as long as you have a far amount of extracurricular activities since undergrad you'll be in good shape - you don't want to use examples in your essays of involvement/activities that took place during undergrad.

Regards,

Stacey
