Dhiyanesh,

It will help to get a better sense of your work and achievements therein. You also need to explain the post-MBA goals for a fuller profile evaluation.

In general, at the 2 year mark, you may be approaching this a bit early; read here.

Higher the better is the standard assumption on GMAT.

Thanks for posting.

GMAT and academics are some of the key starting points, but you would need to present a personal story including your growth and motivations through your experiences at work and extracurricular activities. Showing how the specific MBA program will fit with your post-MBA goals is also very important in boosting your chances.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks for sharing more details.

It would be good to start researching (if you haven't started) on the companies and the specific roles you want are targeting. Identify the skills, knowledge and network you want to gain through the MBA program. You may also check the companies that recruit at your target schools. These would be good starting points in your MBA journey.

Wish you all the best!

Dhiyanesh,

While college level stuff is great, it will fetch you modest brownie points due to the recency effect. While your ECs sound great, if there isn't much you do since graduation, you can't expect to get too much mileage out of the past laurels. Continuity and consistency are key.

The other point you should check is to not be too niche and gain more clarity beyond the sector. The auto sector rarely hires international MBA grads; renewable, even less so! This part too will be critical to research so you do not squander away your advantage. Do this while you do your GMAT prep. The article here may help some.
