Hi All,
I have got 520 score in GMAT which is definitely on the lower side. But on the other hand, I have a work experience of 3+ years in Tata Consultancy services, with quite good academics, good extra curricular record, and planning to launch a website of my own based on e-Learning.
Please suggest that will I be considered if apply in top 100 B-Schools globally.
I am in a total fix. Please suggest.

P.S. I am taking help from education consultants for applying.

Rathore sahab, pranaam!

When all other aspects of your profile have a 'good' preceding them, why do you want to settle for a GMAT score that's significantly lower than the median for most of the good schools?

Consultants have their limitations (Disclosure: I am one too) and are dependent to a great extent to what you bring to the table. If there are serious flaws in key areas (like the GMAT score), their hands are tied too.

Here's a post that explains what an 'average GMAT score' can get you.

The list of names isn't exactly awe-inspiring.

Recruiters place a huge premium on the selectivity of the MBA program.

If you insist on going ahead with the low GMAT score, you'd probably have to settle for a university where the rest of the peer group has similar scores.

Take the test again, buddy.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
