Hi Vaibhav, Being an Indian admissions consulting venture (see the signature), we can understand the dilemma you face. However, there is a LOT of information that is primarily missing from your question: 1. What schools are you targeting? 2. Why do you want to do an MBA? 3. What kind of core courses...

Hi, In my opinion you should be extremely competitive in all the programs you have listed. You have a stellar GMAT score, have the best institutions in India (being from India and having passed through this process ourselves, the team knows what IIT-B means) as your alma mater and one of the most re...

Hey, Re your points, please find the answers below. 1. A 52% will probably be seen equivalent to somewhere around 3.5 GPA. It would be classified as a Second Class qualification, above 60% being the norm for first class. If this is not the case with DU (which would be quite unusual as normally univs...

Hey, Quick Question: how did you convert your GPA to a 3.0? Even if you got a 3.0 GPA from college in India, this would be looked at from the Indian perspective and thus a 3.0 from DSE (I guess?) is not the same as a 3.0 from a US university. If you got a percentage (which is normally the case) anyt...

Sure, you can use the optional essay space for this. But use it only if you feel a) they were extremely weak when compared to the rest of the class (if this is not so, use this space to point this aspect out and show your grades were comparitively good only) b) if you have good justifying reasons fo...

1. In more than 99.5% cases, candidates fill out much more than the word limit specified, in the other 0.5% generally it is right on the mark or within 10% of the limit. (Stats are for our clients and for their first drafts). I feel if you are able to make an extremely strong point in 10 words when ...

Hi, You have a whole lot of work experience behind you to give it up for a 530 GMAT. I personally don't know why you want to just go ahead with a 530 GMAT score as such? And if you're not planning on doing that why not aim for a top 15 Program like Cornell or Yale? You have everything on your side -...

Hi Vishal, Generally, schools look at 80 percentile in each section and overall as a decent benchmark. Your overall score is 88 percentile, which means it is 690 (?) and if you have 73 percentile in Verbal, then you must have a good percentile in Quant (Are you an Indian student per chance? :))I wou...

Hi Bikram, Your overall profile is pretty good. 4 years of work ex should stand you good. An 84% from an Indian engineering school is an excellent percentage. your GMAT score is also decent, but when compared to other Indian students who apply for similar schools, it becomes a little plaid. However,...

Hi, Generally, schools evaluate you at various levels. At the first level is the country (Eg: If you are from India, you would be competing against high scoring candidates typically), then Asians and then the overall picture of the entire class. In fact, schools look for a certain set of criteria wh...
