Hi,
I am an Indian female interested in pursuing a Master's degree in Finance. I took the GMAT and got a disappointing score of 530 (Q 27, V 32). I am not sure of retaking the test as of now.
Please evaluate my profile:
I did Bachelors in Information Technology (3 yrs course)from University of Mumbai, India and scored 70% (don't know how much GPA that is). After this degree, I worked as a Software Test Engineer for a year.
I then did a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) with a concentration in Finance ( 2 yrs course) from Mumbai University in India and scored 68%. I have worked for around a year in a broking company in Mumbai as a Research Associate in the Equity Research field and have written sector reports. Besides, did a summer internship for 2 months in a public sector bank where the project was on Asset Liability Management in commercial banks.
Extra-currlicular:
Event Head at the college where I pursued PGDM Finance
Secretary of Rotaract Club of my under-grad college (have done a few social service activities here)
I have passed 2 certification courses (Mutual Funds and Derivatives) by the National Stock Exchange of India.
I had attempted CFA Level 1 in June 2010. Couldn't clear, but got a band 10 which means I just missed it. I am thinking of mentioning this in my application. Should I mention it?
Planning to apply to
1) DePaul Kellstadt
2) Ilinois Institute of Technology
3) Loyola University - Chicago
4) Georgia State University (Robinson College)
5) University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
What are my chances of getting through in these universities? Please suggest any other universities I should consider.
Thanks

"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."
