Dear ajinkya1330,

You will want to present a solid rationale for why you want the MS degree in relation to your career plans. Assuming you do that, the main concern will probably be your academic aptitude. Your GPA is a little low and a strong GRE score would mitigate that. However, your GRE score indicates strong quantitative aptitude, but weaker verbal raising concerns on your English ability. Your TOEFL score and essays will be important to demonstrate your command of English. Finally, you need to make sure the GRE is accepted at these schools for the MS programs you are considering. If you can make the case you can succeed in the program, then you have a shot at your target schools.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thank you,

My TOEFL score is 110/120

And i am appearing for CFA level I in december. My fear is that i would be rejected by even average universities.
I know next to nothing about the UK universities. Any help regarding that would be great

"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."
