Hello,
Well you have some good stuff in your profile (work experience and leadership) and some challenges (Indian/Male/Tech) and no-name school. But many European schools are much easier to get into that equivalent US schools. Even with a GMAT of 650.

However given how competitive your pool is it is good if you have something in your profile that will make you STAND OUT - something unique, interesting, surprising... It will make your story and essays more exciting.

Other than that, there are many schools you can apply to, but Europe is a HUGE place, so it might be helpful if you narrow it down, by schools, by language, by country or industry to make a wise selection

If you need help with that, feel free to drop us a line:

Yes, I would say you definitely have a shot, you have an interesting profile so if you can present it all in a good way, your chances would be good at the schools you mentioned, even with that GMAT score. That requires an excellent application and essays, however, so that's what you need to focus on going forward.

(ARINGO is specialized in applicants with low GMAT scores, so if you need any help with the application process at all, feel free to contact us!)

How did you choose the schools you are targeting? I am asking because I think there may be some other schools that might be relevant for you as well. So what do you like about the 3 mentioned?

Thank you Michelle!

I have considered few criteria to select a university
1. One year GLOBAL Mba at Europe as I prefer a diversified class to study.
2. Ruled out Spain, France, Italy because of the language and economy
3. Top universities in Europe as per Financial times ranking
4. Am from a manufacturing background. The universities I have preferred focus more on innovation/technology/sustainability that is aligned with my thoughts.

Do let me know about the relevant universities. I'd be glad to discuss about it.

Have you considered the UK? How about France? (some French schools do require you to study some French but of course not to become fluent in it)

Seems like you have chosen wisely based on the criteria you mentioned by the way, you might just very well have found all the best schools for you already!

"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."
