Ask Stacy Blackman

Dear Lisa,

Firstly thanks for the interesting bits of information and other profile evaluations. If anything, it has a certain given me an idea on what B-schools expect in the US. I am looking at a school which offers a marketing focus. Not aiming AT the top 10 - 15 as I am simply do not have the GMAT score to get in and not keen on retaking

My profile is as follows

GMAT - 660 - BALANCED

AGE - 26 YRS , Nationality : India - Australia Permanent Resident - will be sending out applications from India

1ST Degree - Business (Honours - 1st class - 81% from leading Australian Univeristy - not sure how B schools in US view that)

Work Ex. - 4 years in Marketing / Research - Mainly in Shanghai, China yrs and Middle East (Kuwait and Qatar) - FMCG Category

Essays - Should be convicing

Reference - Should not be much of a problem. Probably my strength.

Ideal school for me University of Wisconsin - despite the cold:-( at Madison atleast at this point .. their product an brand management program seems best suited for me! Would you recommend any others?

Thank you
