Shortlisting BSchool

Amith Naik wrote:Hi All,

I m preparing for gmat and giving it in December 2016. I'm planning to apply for Round 2 jan 2017 intakes of colleges. I'm not able to shortlist any bschool for now. I have major interest in Marketing and Sales. I'm from IT background having 4.4 years of experience as of now. I have a first class (64 percentile in Engineering). I have participated in few co curricular activities at college level but not any major one as such. As of now I have in my mind

Kellog

Berkeley Hass

London Business School

IIMB

What are my chances of getting in to these colleges having a gmat of around 650 to 700. ?

Are these the colleges I should aim at?

If the profile is still not suitable for these brands please also help me shortlist. Awaiting your response

Thanks

Hi Amith,

The schools you have shortlisted are highly competitive except IIM-B and its already late to apply. You need to score 700+ in your GMAT test and I suggest you to take few mock tests which will be helpful.

You need to work on your essay, resume and interview which will help you to get into top B-Schools.

You can also target few marketing top B-Schools listed below:

New York University - Stern

University of Texas - McCombs

Chicago Booth

Duke University - Fuqua

Kindly share with us more details on your profile for free profile evaluation and we will assist you with the best.
