Hi shan91095,

You have a well-rounded profile and a well-suited one for the MIM programs. The MIM programs typically look for a sound academic background, evidence of internship or work experience and a strong involvement with extracurriculars. A good GPA shows a that you are a consistent performer and this along with the GMAT forms the foundation of your application.

We recommend a GMAT of at least 700 and 720+ if your long-term goal includes consulting. In addition, a well-written application and clear and creative essays would eventually help your candidature.

Feel free to reach out in case of any other queries.

A high GMAT score increases the applicant’s chances of admissions, but in most cases, the GMAT scores, even for the top MiM schools are not required to be as high as for most top MBA programs. Applicants should strive for a score of 680 or higher, in order to have reasonable chances of admission to the top MiM programs.

"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."
