Profile Evaluation Request

by akshatgupta87 » Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:42 pm
I would like to share my profile and discuss school options with you.

GMAT History:-
GMAT 1: 600 (Q:49,V:22)
GMAT 2: 620 (Q:48,V:27)
GMAT 3: 580 (Q:50,V:18)
After giving 3 attempts, I could not think of re-taking GMAT anymore


Work Experience:-44 months by the time I join.
Working in Infosys Ltd.
Promotion: Recruited as Systems Engineer Trainee. Promoted to Systems Engineer and now working as a Senior Systems Engineer.
Working in Banking & Capital Markets Division for client Bank of America.

Academics:- Bachelor in Engineering in Electronics & Telecomm.
GPA: 3.6
2nd topper in final year and awarded gold medal
Studied French for 8 years during school.

Extra Curricular Activity:-
Active member of my college IEEE student branch. Served as the Secretary of my college IEEE branch.
Organized various events in my college such as paper presentation.
Awarded Lt. Governor award for my work in Scouts & Guides in 2001.


I feel GMAT score will be an overall low point in my application :(

One key point: I won't be looking for a job post-MBA in US, as I have to return back to my country due to family constraints.

Can you please suggest some schools.


Thanks in Advance..Really appreciate your time and effort.

Hi, Akshat,

Thanks for your post. You can look at schools where the average GMAT score is around 620. You could also include one or two more targeted reach schools that are higher than that range if you like. Your work experience will be just under the average years of work experience for most programs, so be sure to highlight your leadership and maturity. You will want to focus on community service and extracurricular from only the past three years before you apply. You could also include a personal story or strong examples of softer skills from your professional experience to demonstrate your character and leadership.

I do encourage you to develop a list of criteria for your business school programs. The most important is to determine what you need to learn and which programs are most targeted to that. You can also determine any factors related to geography, companies that recruit, class size, etc. Make sure to look at the European schools as well as those might be a good fit for you.

Good luck,
Susan Kaplan
