Hi,
I just took GMAT 660 (Q50, V31).
My background : 3 years Software development work experience in Cisco R&D India.
Undergrad: National Institute of Technology Surathkal (Top 10 Tech schools in India)
CG: 7.6/10 (don't know how to convert into 4.0, think conversion is around 3.2-3.4 not sure)

Started my own venture in college and ran it for a year. A Small Internet collaborative magazine
Interned at a Internet startup in managerial and marketing roles for 2 years(worked part time) during college (does it count?)

Extra curricular:
In charge of CSR activities in our company.Speaking to NGOs and making all employees to participate in the activities.
I maintain a Stock picks on fundamental analysis in a website.

What top schools I can apply with this score. Is it possible to get universities like UVa, cornell, kellog or atleast NUS or 2 tier like Kelly or Mays ?
I don't think I will be able to take GMAT again.I will be busy with work next two months

Please evaluate my profile and make suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prashanth,

You have an avg. CGPA and GMAT scores. TO be able to convert your chances from application to admission you need to submit strong application essays and work hard on interviews. Leadership qualities/skills, achievements in or outside work place and other aptitudes will be crucial while writing application essays. If you are able to position well on above pointers then you would stand a chance in b-school(s). With the given information, you may target schools like: Indiana-Kelley, Ohio-Fisher, McDonough, Arizona-Carey, Vanderbilt-Owen, Texas-Mays. Boston-Carroll, Urbana Champaign, SDA-Bocconi, Imperial, Warwick, Cass and NUS. You may try your chances in b-school(s) by clicking https://tinyurl.com/pretzmp

Let me know in case of further queries. You may PM your details for free profile evaluation or discussion in length.

Regards
Erina

I hate to give you the advice to retake the GMAT but a 660 score is significantly below the average of Indian applicants to UVA, Kellogg, and NUS.

You have a shot at Kelly and Mays given the fact that you graduated from a NIT and your experience is good. Your professional background is similar to other applicants' backgrounds from the ultracompetitive Indian applicant group so you will want to differentiate yourself as much as possible.

But if you retake the GMAT and score in the 700's you will be competitive for your target schools.

Good luck,

"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."
