Hi shan91095,

You have a well-rounded profile and a well-suited one for the MIM programs. The MIM programs typically look for a sound academic background, evidence of internship or work experience and a strong involvement with extracurriculars. A good GPA shows a that you are a consistent performer and this along with the GMAT forms the foundation of your application.

We recommend a GMAT of at least 700 and 720+ if your long-term goal includes consulting. In addition, a well-written application and clear and creative essays would eventually help your candidature.

Feel free to reach out in case of any other queries.

A high GMAT score increases the applicant's chances of admissions, but in most cases, the GMAT scores, even for the top MiM schools are not required to be as high as for most top MBA programs. Applicants should strive for a score of 680 or higher, in order to have reasonable chances of admission to the top MiM programs.
