Hi Admissionado

This is almost my first post on beatthegmat . I gave my GRE today in London and scored 304(V150 , Q154) . I have 11 yrs of experience in Consulting with companies like IBM, EY,KPMG , Tata Group , TCS . I am 35 yr old Indian male not IT .
Currently based out of London,UK and have extensive international experience. In my curent role I am a Business Partner ( Industry Vertical Leader )with our CPG and Distribution business for UK ,Europe and I .
I wanted to know if there are others with the same demographics who are keen to apply this year .
My target schools are
1. Stanford MSx
2. Kellogs 1 yr
3. Cornell 1 yr MBA
4. LBS
5. USC IBEAR
6. MIT Sloan
7. Oxford
8. Cambirdge

Could any of the experts kindly advice if this is a realistic expectation and what are the chances of getting through one of these .

Hey dude,
Good to hear from you, but I'm afraid I have bad news. Your GRE equivalent is a 500, which is 200 points below the average of most of the schools you have mentioned. You will not have any chances of getting in.

If you are serious about doing this, you will really have to buckle down and get that GRE (or GMAT) up a lot higher. With anything less than a 700 most of the schools on your list would be impossible, no matter how good your profile is.

Best of luck on your retake,

Cheers,
Jon Frank

Dear Vishal,
good to hear about the retake!

However if you will take the test that late, you will not make the R2 deadlines which are all in the first week of January. And then you would actually need to apply next year, which seems like the best idea from here anyhow.

So my suggestion is to plan for a R1 application in 2018.

Best,

"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."
