Hi Stacy,
I've GMAT score of 650 (V35 74%, Q45 75%) when I gave it a second shot
GMAT score of 660 (V32, Q48) the first time.

I have two degrees
MS in Mech n Aero Engg 3.4 GPA
BE in Mech 76%

I have done some extracurricular activities in the last 4 years and quite more while in graduate school until 2004. I'm 28 now.

I've been with only one company and a small one (<50 employees) and have taken variety of roles - analyst, researcher, mentor and recently technical lead. And a little bit of marketing and recruiting. The area of work is air traffic research and some government consulting.

And my nationality is India.

I'm aspiring to be a consultant and could relate bulk of my work to that role. I'm aiming for a program that can prepare me to be a strategy consultant and open doors in that industry.

Given all these, I've decided to apply to:
a) Nanyang
b) NUS
both in Singapore for cost and close to home.

My question: are there other schools in Europe and Asia that are strong for consulting, for which I have reasonable chances provided the low GMAT score? I'm not looking for US schools.

Thanks in advance.
I read through your other posts on Singapore schools, so I guess I know you answer on those.

Dear kriskrush,

Schools outside the US are not really my expertise, so my knowledge is pretty shallow. Your two target schools are both excellent and my understanding is that NUS is seen as more of an analytical program. New schools are launched each year in Asia, so I would think you do have some other options as long as you are comfortable being one of the first graduates. There are also strong programs in the EU. Overall, most schools will have the right academic preparation for consulting. Where you should focus your research is on which ones have stronger ties to the consulting industry.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa for the quick response.

So, then the question is are there ways to find out the ties a school has with the consulting industry?

While placement statistics sometimes provides list of companies that recruit and no of offers made, that may or may not present the complete picture.

Are there other ways to find out?

Thanks....
