I'm planning to do a Full time MBA in Canada.

Profile:
I'm from India and have a 3 year bachelors degree and no masters.
Work Experience: 7 years (3 years in Citibank, 2 years in Royal Bank of Scotland and 2 years in EDMA Capital [Started my own corporate finance advisory])
GMAT: 610 (Quant 44 [66%], Verbal 29 [53%])
Final Year GPA: 3.6
Decent extra curricular activities: Play soccer, cricket, snooker

Target Schools:
- Ivey
- Queens
- UBC
- McGill

Considering my GMAT score is well below the average score posted on all these schools' websites, what are my chances in these schools ?

Also if I would want a few schools as safe schools which ones should i target.

Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks & Regards,
Danesh

Hi daneshchothia,

If you are very interested in attending the schools you had listed, I recommend you retake the GMAT test. Remember that your score is self-reported on your application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score.

If you decide to take the test again, here are some free tips: https://www.stacyblackman.com/gmat-overview/

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
