Hi,

I am an Indian IT Male working for a product company for 4 years ( Solo representative of two modules in my team-have ownership of the two modules. Also I would be traveling to Australia as part of client visit).. Acads - 3.45/4 in college, 95% in school; Very good extra curricular activities, part of an NGO....Now comes the saddest part - I got a mere 650 in my GMAT

I am actually trying for an MBA and had my profile evaluated by some experts here for an MBA.
I now am thinking about an MIS too and have shortlisted CMU - MISM 16 month course. Could you tell me my chances of getting into CMU-MISM ( Heinz College). Also I am thinking abt TAMU's MIS.
Post-MBA plans - I d like to be a business analyst or a techno-functional consultant.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. I am sorry to hear that you aren't happy with your GMAT score. I do think exploring an MIS degree is a great alternative to an MBA, especially if you are able to achieve the same short and long term goals. My specialty is in MBA degrees and therefore I am not qualified to evaluate your chances of successful admission at the MIS programs on your list. I suggest learning as much about these programs as possible including a review of their recent class profile. This will give you a good indication of the school's average applicant and thus help you figure out where you fit in.

Best of luck.

Regards,

Stacey

"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."
