Dear maddy_kaps,

How competitive your profile is will depend on the school. If your GMAT is at or above the average for a school, then you are in a good position for that school. If your GMAT is below the average, then gaining admission might be tougher. In addition to the GMAT, you will also want to make sure you are selecting programs that are the best fit for your career goals. All schools have their strengths, so it would be good to spend some time researching programs to determine which ones are the best match.

Good luck,
Lisa

Target Schools - Europe and Asia Pacific colleges.
Some specific schools are
Insead
ISB, India
Oxford
Cambridge
SP Jain,Dubai
NUS,Singapore
Nanyang, Singapore
GSIM, Sydney
other UK schools ranked 20-50 category.

I am looking for accelerated 1 year residential program so not considering any US colleges. I would like to continue in IT after MBA in a Management or Consultant role.
As per my initial analysis, my GMAT score is close to the avg GMAT score of most of these institute except ISB and Insead.
