Profile Evaluation

by anchit » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:44 am
Hi
I took the GMAT about a week ago , I could only manage a 640. I am an IT proffesional and have completed 2 years of full time work experience. I will be travelling to the US in the coming week. On the day of the test i chose the following 5 B-Schools:
Kellogg
Nanyang
NUS
Erasmus
Fisher
(I chose these because i had consistently been getting over a 700 in my mocks, i managed a 740 in the prep GMAT mock a day before i took the GMAT (sigh!!) )

I have represented my school, college and the company at the nationals in football (read soccer).
Have achieved a significant number of awards during my stint as an IT professional Also lead a tema of 4 while still in the first year of my employment.
Have helped the under priviledged kids around the neighbourhood with studies. ( though i have no certificates to prove it because i do it independently)
Have been part of the school and college cutural groups and have participated in a number of inter school debates.

I have now narrowed down my search to Rutgers, Fisher, Kelley, Foster and SUNY.
What do you think about my chances

Hello,

From the information you've provide, it looks to me like you've compiled a good list of programs where you'll be a competitive applicant. I'd say Kelley and Foster are between on-par and reach, the others are on-par or safety to on-par. Other factors that will affect your competitiveness include the strength of your work performance, your leadership, and your goals.

Best regards,
