Hi,

Please find my profile details below:

1) Indian Hotelier with 2.5 years WE at the Indian Hotels Company Ltd (Taj Hotels and Resorts Limited) . Joined as a management trainee and resigned as a Duty Manager.
Followed by entrepreneurial work experience of 1 year. Currently running one of the finest Indian Restaurants in the city (family business).

2) GMAT Score: 680 (Q-50, V-31, AWA-4 & IR-8) was not my best day, might retake the exam!

3) College info: 72% Undergrad aggregate (From IHMCTAN, Mumbai)

4) Extra-Curricular: Volunteer on weekends at an NGO since the past 3 years.

5) Target B-School Specialization: Entrepreneurship

6) Target B-Schools: ISB, Nanyang, Babson, HEC, Cornell (Open to suggestions)

7) Member of Les Clefs D'or India (Concierge Association of India)

Questions that I am seeking answers to:

Q.1 Should I retake the exam or is there a more than decent chance of getting into a good B-school with this score? PS: I am working full time and have extremely long working hours!

Q.2 How important are IR and AWA scores in conjunction with my Verbal and Quant scores?

Q.3 Is there a chance of finding a US B-School that might give me a scholarship with this rather dismal score?

Q.4 What are my chances of getting through ISB assuming I have a well written essay and good recommendations? (On a scale of 1-10)

Thank You!
