I am a 3rd year uni student, and expect to have a gpa of 4.5+ when i graduate (90%).

I participated in debates till 12th grade but i have no other extra curricular activities ever since I joined university.
I have about 9 mths work experience and havent taken the gmat yet but aiming for more than the average 80% range of gmat (760+).


assuming I get it,What are my chances of entering a top B-school in US?

Will good academic credentials override the fact that I do not have any extra curricular activities or do not have any thing that showcased my leadership potential?


I did a lot of undergrad research on campus besides normal load.
This was why I never really bothered about ECAs more than about journals!

The thing is, I do not want to do anymore of this technical work and so I am looking to shift scope.

What improvement would you suggest?

Thank-you very much!

Dear whatever87:

Without any professional work experience after receiving your degree, you will be at a large disadvantage for consideration by top MBA programs. If you wish to purse your MBA with less than 2-3 years of experience after your undergraduate degree, then you will absolutely need to get a high GMAT score. Additionally, you might consider programs in the top 50, not just top 10, as many of them might provide what you are looking for in terms of curriculum and career options but will be more flexible on amount of work experience.

Good luck!
