I did my graduation from NIT .Trichy, (INDIA) with a gpa of 7.33/10, I have a good extra curricular to support me and I can get a good recommendation letter too. I am aiming for top 50 B schools and full time MBA course. I am open to go to US, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Dear pallav.b,


Generally speaking, your GMAT score is on the low side for a top 50 program as an applicant from India. I encourage you to do some research on MBA programs where the GMAT average is at or below a 610, offers a curriculum that matches your career goals, and is within your budget. I think it will be tough to find this combination in the US, but perhaps there are some good programs in the EU or Asia that are within reach. You also might consider retaking your GMAT to increase your score, especially on the verbal section.

Good luck,
Lisa
