Hi,
Profile:
Undergrad GPA - 85% in Engineering from India. (must be 3.6 GPA)Topped the department in university.
Gmat - 1) 620 (q-50,v -24)
2) 680 (q-47,v-37)
3) 710 (q-49,v-37)
Work Exp: 1) As a marketing head in a chemical agency for 6 months after undergraduation.
2)For past 3 years working in a well-known IT MNC. Currently I am the team lead of 7 members managing a project worth $50 million. I have been promoted once in my tenure and have strong recommendations. I have won few awards at work and have completed few certifications provided by my company. The certifications are related to finance.
Extra curric - Good(Running an ngo along with friends for the past 3 years).
Post mba goals : Consulting in finance/Strategy
I had applied to Ross last year in round 2 after my second gmat attempt of 680. But I was dinged without an interview. Since the bar for the GMAT in my work category(Indian IT) tends to be higher, I retook the Gmat few days back and have got 710. But I am not satisfied as i was expecting ATLEAST 730. I am also confused whether I should retake the Gmat 4tth time!!!Few people in blogs are advising me to retake it fourth time as they are saying that the competition is tough among Indian IT students. If I give a shot again at Gmat I am sure, I will end up getting 730-750.
So please let me know whether 710 is sufficient to get into top 15 b schools in US considering my IT background. Also whether the adcom people would consider taking gmat 4th time as a negative aspect.
Thanks.
