Hi

Took Gmat today. Was hoping for a better score, but alas, turned out to be much lower than expected.
My score is 680 (quant 90 percentile and verbal 67 percentile). I was planning to apply to the following b schools and now i am wary of applying as i think my score is less than the average accepted. Needed your help by looking at the profile, should i apply with the current score or take GMAT again

Schools : INSEAD, Booth, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, LBS, Tuck

Profile:

Undergraduation - among top 3 students
Graduation - Top 20 college in india ; 1st rank in the college
Post-grad MBA from a top 10 b school in india - Allrounder award
Work experience -
1. Big credit rating agency in india (2 yrs)
2. Associate at a domestic PE firm (1.5 yrs)
3. Software consulting at a global IT major (1 yrs)

Other activities - decent activities at school and college level
Currently teach CFA at a leading firm (part-time)
Some charity work in the past though not very active presently

Planning to remain in the same industry but want to target international PE firms which surely need better exposure and a good international b school education in india

Will appreciate any help in deciding between applying with 680 score or target a better score

Hi Rohit,

Sorry to hear about the GMAT. You've got strong work experience, but not too much in the way of extracurricular/community leadership, so I think that puts more pressure on your academic profile, and in turn, on your GMAT score. If you're really set on a top program, I'd recommend retaking the test.

Keep in mind that it is quite difficult to get admissions if you already have an MBA, though. Just something to be aware of.

Wish you the best,
Mili

Hi Mili

So then i retook the GMAT again and have now scored a 710 92% (Q 49 (81%), V 38 38 (85%)).
Last time around i had asked you about the chances at the top B schools. Though i understand that 710 is not a stratospheric score, however, would like to have a realistic understanding of what elements of my profile (including score if recommended) should i bolster to improve chances in these schools. Do you think my current GMAT score still needs to be improved and will it further help improve the application ?
My target list remains the same and plan to apply in the coming October session 1st round of these schools.

Please suggest/advice.

Hi there,

Jumping in for Mili here. Am I understanding correctly, you already hold an MBA degree? As Mili mentioned, it will be difficult to gain admission in that case... not impossible but pretty challenging, as so many qualified applicants do NOT already hold that degree and are making a strong case for why they need it, if that makes sense. You may want to aim for schools outside the top 15 or so, while your current school list is extremely competitive and probably all 'dream/reach' schools for you, with Tuck being slightly more in reach but still difficult.

I wouldn't say it's all about the GMAT at this point, in that your 710 gets you in the range of their average GMAT scores so the decision will now focus on who YOU are and what you bring, what is unique, why you need this degree, and so on. You're part of a common applicant profile (Indian IT/engineers) so it's all the more challenging to show what's different about YOU!! So if you're going to go for it, the biggest thing to invest your time and energy in at this point is your essays, as that is where you'll really show who you are! Good luck on your decisions!
