Thanks for your question. It sounds like you have been very involved in activities outside of your studies which should be a differentiator in your applications. I think your GMAT score is strong (although you didn't provide the breakdown between the quant and verbal sections of the exam), however y...

Thanks for your question. Your GMAT and grades are not very strong which will put you at a disadvantage when compared to your peers. Also, you didn't mention any extra-curricular activities. If you are not very involved, then there will just be less to show in your application. It sounds like you ha...

Thanks for your question! Your undergraduate grades are very weak, but your graduate grades are strong which is positive. You have been active outside of work which should give you an opportunity to show that you are multi-dimensional in your application. Hopefully, all will go well with the GMAT! M...

Admissions officers are very familiar with the reputations and competitive environments of schools across the world, so you should not have to worry about them being able to understand/translate your grades. However, if your grades are weak, then you should try to build an "alternative transcri...

Thanks for the detailed profile. However I am not really sure what your question is because it is not clear in your post. I will however comment on your school choices. I think that your grades are somewhat weak, but you have built a strong "alternative transcript" which should help show t...

Thanks for your question. I cannot really help you figure out how to find the right admissions consultant. Just do your research (just as you would do for an MBA program!) and hopefully you will find the best fit for you from both a personality and experience perspective. Regarding your question abo...

Congratulations on receiving two offers!
We specialize in the top U.S. programs and several European programs (including INSEAD, LBS) so I cannot comment on Cranfield or Manchester. Best of luck with the decision process!

Hi Juanse, Thanks for your questions. Your academic/personal background are certainly not "typical" and I do think that you have achieved success despite the fact that you did not attend a top college and you had to devote a significant amount of your time to fatherhood during college. Reg...

Thanks for your question. There are two important factors to consider: 1) What are your target schools? If you are significantly below the average, then you might want to consider retaking the exam especially if you have weak quantitative undergraduate grades or work in a field that does not require...

Thanks for your questions. You have certainly gone after what you want so I commend you on that! I think the fact that you've lived in three countries and studied in the U.S. at one of the top 5 engineering schools is a strong point for your profile. The work experience and current extra-curricular ...

Thank you for your question. I believe that you have a very well rounded profile with the finance experience, extra-curricular activities, and CFA. And yes, the Indian male technologist pool is overrepresentend, but the Finance pool isn't. I do think the GMAT score is a bit low. It you earn a higher...

It looks like your verbal score is really low. Can you highlight your verbal/communication skills through other means (i.e. well written applications, high grades in writing courses, evidence of communication skills through work projects)? I think Queens is going to be tough for you to get into....b...

Normally, I would say that you shouldn't worry too much about the 4.0 AWA score, but the low verbal score combined with the low AWA score could raise a red flag. Do you think you can earn a higher score? If so, it might be best to retake the exam, especially if you are an international student. How ...
