Hi,
I took my gmat for the third time and my score was 650. My Verbal is 35 (74%) and Quants is 44 (70%). AWA is 5.5. My previous two attempts were 640 and 630 respectively. I have about 9 years of experience in Software Consulting with about 4.5 years of international Experience. I also have a Project Manegement Professional (PMP) from the PMI Institute.

What universities would yoru recommend considering the score and the experience. I was thinking ISB, INSEAD, IE, IMD. Also part time interests in Chicago GSB and Kellogg.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Krish

Dear Krish,

It is possible you might gain admission to the schools you list with your current profile. However, these are all schools with GMAT averages greater than a 650. Since your professional experience is extremely common in the MBA applicant pool, it is important that you are able to stand out in other ways. Likewise, you will need to find a way to distinguish yourself from the other applicants with similar profiles. I would suggest adding some schools to your list with GMAT averages in the 600-650 range that will also prepare you for your desired post-MBA career.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
