Vijay,

Thank you for your post. I recommend retaking the GMAT in order to give yourself the best chance of getting in. Your demographic is competitive and with your age and work experience, if you could increase your score (IR included), you would have a better chance. Have you considered tutoring? Contact us if you would like to hear how we could help!

Hi Vijay,

You have strong profile with 8.5 years work experience.You can also target Rice University, Rochester Simon. If you can retake GMAT and improve your score then you can improve your chances. Scholarships are decided based on overall profile and not only your academics and GMAT so focus on your application which carries more weightage and do well.

VIjay,

Our simple suggestion will be to retake GMAT by Nov end ( may be you are already doing that) and improve GMAT score by 30 points. Also, IR 2 will be a dealbreaker. So, work hard to improve that as well.

With your profile and better GMAT, schools you have mentioned are all achievable.

Feel free to contact us for any queries.

"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."
