Hi, You have got enough strong points in your career - I wouldn't necessarily worry too much about GMAT. Having said that, high GMAT definitely helps, particularly in terms of your scholarship chances. Which schools are you targeting? Also, a pre MBA and similar post MBA career choice has to be well...

Hi, I don't think your GPA will increase because it is primarily driven by your undergraduate degree. Any other course will add value only if you can justify why you took the course (as opposed to just increasing your GPA). Even with a low GPA (something you can't control), you can apply because the...

Hi, You have quite an interesting background and it looks like you will be fairly competitive at the schools you mentioned. The trick will be to weave a story which will make you appear attractive rather than raise more questions - I think it is quite easily doable. In terms of your GMAT, it is with...

Hi, When the schools say GPA they are gently talking about your undergraduate degree. Your GPA depends on your relative score and so a very rough starting point is your percentile. It is 100% true that schools will use their own conversion table but your own satistfaction check your percentile and s...

Hi Rinki, You have some interesting and strong aspects of your profile (academics, extra-curricular involvement, interest for business in spite of being highly technical, your ability to add diversity based on gender, professional background and experience), although there are some areas that would ...

Hi Vivek, Increasing your GMAT score, if time permits, should be an important priority. Given your desire to get in Strategy roles as management consultant, most (not all) management consulting firms consider your GMAT score during recruitment. In terms of your profile, your undergraduate college pe...

Hi Sarah, I would say even more than 70 points (closer to 100 points) is possible in 6 weeks - if you have the plan, time and dedication, it is not a hard test to crack. Look at the breakdown in more detail and also think about consistency (has there been trends). If you were to be asked how much do...

Hi, What you need is a structured plan - everyday you need to study and preferably every day, each section. How much time you dedicate depends on your current level, how far the test is and which sections you are really struggling with. Studying only on the weekends will definitely be really hard - ...

Hi, I would advice you to stay away from nominating a professor as the MBA is a professional degree and your performance in an academic setting (particularly around research and analysis) is not a true indicator of how you perform in a business setting. In addition, this will be at least 3+ years ol...

Hi, Being upfront with the schools is the best way to deal with this. I would say, tell them the exact reason and also make a case as to how this 1 additional year would also benefit them - think about better cohort participation and more "employable". All schools like it when they are sho...

Hi Ritesh, I would say start now and start with multiple aspects of the application. It takes about 3 months to get seriously prepared for the GMAT exam. In addition, soul searching and thinking long and hard about how to differentiate yourself takes time. As you have less time than that (particular...

Hi, Congrats on your admit - albeit a little late! To add bit more perspective on the ranking issue - I am aware of at least 2 top (read top 50) Asian schools where career placement (arguably one of the most sought after elements) leave a lot to be desired of. The schools have an excellent network o...
