Hi Stacy

Could you evaluate my profile?

Female, 32 years, Indian
Undergrad: Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics and Business Data Processing from a leading under graduate school in India, First Division
Post Grad: Masters in Marketing Communications from a top rated Communications school in India, GPA 2.8 (it is quite good by Indian standards)
GMAT: 640, 44 Quant, 33 Verbal

I have been working in market research for the past 8 years. I have worked with prominent MR firms and managed many international projects for both private and public sector clients. I am currently working in Washington DC for a global market research firm and I am independently managing a key client account. I have a good professional experience and I can easily showcase my leadership skills.

I know my GMAT score is very low (it is much below my expectations) but I do not want to retake it. This was my second attempt. I scored 620 previously. My GMAT scores are standing out like a sore thumb.

I am very keen on Kellogg, Cornell, Columbia, LBS and Haas. Do you think I stand a chance? Do you think my weak GMAT performance can be compensated by professional experience?

Thanks for your honest feedback.

Dear giggle1050,

I think the schools you are targeting are all quite a reach for you with your current profile. It will be hard for you to stand out in the applicant pool against the other applicants from India. I would suggest applying to maybe 1 or 2 of these programs and then 2 or 3 other programs where you are more competitive. These would be programs with GMAT averages at or below a 650 which also match your career goals.

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Stacy
Thanks for a prompt reply.
If I retake gmat and somehow get a late 600 score then will it strengthen my chances for applying in the schools I desire for?...or do you think continuous retakes in gmat may prove to be more detrimental?
Thanks!

Generally, you should expect to take the GMAT at least twice and maybe three times to get a score that reflects your abilities. Over three times, it really depends on the individual and why that person might be struggling on the exam. With regards to your target schools, you need to be above their GMAT average to be competitive as an international applicant.

Good luck,
Lisa
