Ask Stacy Blackman

Hi Stacy\Linda,

I have appeared for the GMAT and have secured 670 (Verbal - 38, Quant -45). I am very disappointed with my score (as I was persistently geting 690 or 700 in my practice MGMATs).

However moving on, I wish to apply to apply to one year mba program at a premier institute (who doesn't!!). I have shortlisted a few b schools based on my profile.

Here's my profile in brief

Age: 26
Work Experiece: 4 years in a reputed bank. Of these 4 years have spent 1 year in India and spent the remaining 3 years at a client facing location at well known investment bank in London. Have good experience of coordinating projects, handling IT teams etc.
Hobbies: Adventure sports, fitness freak

Schools on my wish list (one year mba from these institues)

1. London School of business
2. Insead
3. IE business school
4. ISB (Indian school of business)
5. Oxford (said)
6. Cambridge (judge)
7. Esade

I would be keen to know whether there is a good possibility of me getting through to the above b schools (or will I be wasting my time and money applying to these institutes). Or is it advisable that I take the GMAT again.

Would be greatly interested in knowing your take on this.

Thanks in advance.
