Help me out!!!

[kbharadwaj.1987]

I've already given the GMAT once. I got a 600 (quant-49 and verbal-24). I'm giving the GMAT again this September. I have no sort of functional experience. I've a GPA of 2.6. I'm very good at organizing stuff and also I'm an amateur DJ, and vocalist. Also I know Spanish and French. I've done some social work too a la helping out the orphanage kids. I've also taught all sorts of subjects to the students up to secondary education level for two years at a local school. And also I undertook this really interesting project in my final year of Engineering, and thus I could get a letter of recommendation from the company manager. Would a 700+ fetch me a b-school of my choice (the top-50 of course I'm not including the top-15, because I'm sure I would get rejected because of no work experience). The schools which interest me are:
1) Ohio State University, Fisher
2) Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper) (PA)
3) Indiana University, Kelley
4) University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler)
5) University of Southern California (Marshall)
6) Emory University (Goizueta) (GA)

Please assess my profile and please help me out. I'm planning to apply for the round 1.

Kbharadwaj,

Thanks for your note. I strongly suggest that you focus on gaining full time work prior to applying to business school. You will have a very difficult time gaining admission to a good business school with a 2.6 gpa, a 600 gmat score, and no work experience.

While you are working over the next two years, you should retake your GMAT and aim for a 700 score. You should also build a 4.0 gpa alternate transcript - focusing on business foundation classes like Calculus, Statistics, Accounting and Economics. By taking these steps over the next year or so, you will be a much stronger MBA applicant.

Sincerely,

Eliot Ingram
