Hi!

My Profile:
Age: 25
Computer Engineer with 3 years of experience (not in a leadership role)
Working for an Indian IT services company
No international work experience, no unique work exposure
GMAT score: 700 (September 2008)

I had wanted to apply to ISB for the R2 (15 Dec 2008) but after giving my GMAT I realised that I bleak chances with 700 and the most common work profile of an Indian IT Male. Now I really dont know what to do next, I have thought of giving my GMAT again and work towards a 750+ score and then hope that my score would help offset whatever my work exposure lacks. Then I thought maybe I should prepare for CAT as only a a couple of good B-schools in India accept GMAT scores. Now I am really confused whether I should give the GMAT again and hope for a better score to apply to a good Indian B school, or should I drop the idea of giving GMAT again and start preparing seriously for CAT 2009. I am not even sure that I can score well in CAT as it is very academically intensive

I would appreciate any guidance that I can get on this, I am not averse of studying abroad but what I am worried about is to cough up big bucks, bank loans and even then have no guarantee of a good job in India.

thanks
