Hi Tanuj,

Your GMAT score is below average and work experience duration is way too less. Pepsico is a good brand though.

We recommend that you wait for atleast an year and improve the GMAT score to 720+ before you apply. This will surely enhance you chances of getting into rank 10-25 schools. Top 10 will still be tough.

Hope this helps.

Yep yep. Hold on to those horses! You are gonna need at least two years (I think) before an application will be reasonable. Plenty of time to work on that GMAT and increase your community service and leadership!

A little more experience would be great - maybe another year or two. You're in a rotational program with a great company so hopefully you can get your hands on some cool professional experiences. Be aggressive - find ways to stand out. And look for involvement opportunities that stand out a bit and would make an adcom take notice.

Also, as for the GMAT, if you're targeting the top 30, you're going to need to retake it. It should at least start with a "7" and preferably be 720+.

Good luck!
