Hi there,

I would like to hear your expert opinion about my profile. Just started preparing for GMAT 2 days back. I am aiming for only Top 10 B-schools for admission in 2012.

Here is my profile:

31 years / Male
Nationality: Indian
Exposure: Living and working in Europe from past 6 years.

GMAT
Not taken yet. Plan to take my first GMAT exam sometime in 1st/2nd week of September 2011.

Undergraduate
1. Degree: Electronics & Telecom Engineering from India
2. Percentage: 80% - I was the topper of the class of 40 odd students.

Masters
1. Degree: Master of Technology(M.Tech) from a well known university in India
2. Percentage: 85% - Gold Medalist. I was ranked no.1 in the University

Work Experience
1. 8 years of experience in various Multinational companies.
2. Living and Working as a permanent employee in Europe from past 6 years.
3. Five years of experience in Software Development/testing.
4. From past 3 years, I am working in a role which requires dealing with several partners to get the work done. Also, I am leading a project team consisting of 4 engineers and I'm doing pretty good in that(can get good reference from my boss).

Others
I am a very socially active person & erving as a board member of International community in my city & organised several social events. (Can get some recommendation for that too).

Questions
I will really appreciate if you can provide your valuable feedback on:
1. What GMAT score should I aim for ?
2. I am planning to take GMAT test somewhere in early September 2011. Do you think, I will get sufficient time to prepare. I can devote around 2 hours on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends. Is that enough ?
3. Prep books: I have just bought Manhattan GMAT Complete Prep Set incl. The 3 Official Guides for GMAT Review. Do you suggest to buy something else too ?
4. Do I have a chance to get into top 10 B-school with my profile?
5. Do you think I will need TOEFL or IELTS score for my MBA applications?

Thanks a lot in advance. I am really looking forward for your opinion.

Regards,
Gmat_aspirant_2011

Dear Gmat_aspirant_2011,

1. What GMAT score should I aim for ?
2. I am planning to take GMAT test somewhere in early September 2011. Do you think, I will get sufficient time to prepare. I can devote around 2 hours on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends. Is that enough ?
3. Prep books: I have just bought Manhattan GMAT Complete Prep Set incl. The 3 Official Guides for GMAT Review. Do you suggest to buy something else too ?

To be competitive for the top 10, you want to score above the schools' average. Thus you want to aim for a score at or above a 720. How much time you need to prepare depends on you. Everyone is different in terms of preparation strategies and what works best. Perhaps take a practice test 4-6 weeks ahead of your scheduled test date to get an idea of where you are? In terms of study materials, that is also a personal preference based on your command of the material, what you need to focus on, and what books might work better for you. I encourage you to visit some other areas of this site to see what materials have worked well for others.

4. Do I have a chance to get into top 10 B-school with my profile?
Perhaps; it will depend on your GMAT score and the strength of your overall application relative to the applicant pool of each school. You have a high GPA and good work experience. You also need to use your essays, resume, recommendations and interview to your advantage by differentiating your application from similar applicants and making the admissions committees see that you will be a valuable addition to the class.

5. Do you think I will need TOEFL or IELTS score for my MBA applications?
If you are planning to apply to US or EU schools, then you will most likely need to take either the TOEFL or the IELTS. I encourage you to schedule that exam soon as those test dates do fill up quickly.

Good luck,
Lisa
