Hi,
I took my GMAT today and got a 680. A bit disappointed as my target was still 700+.
I am aiming for ISB Hyderabad.
My Profile:-
Education :-
BTech From a top rated Indian University
Acads 85% throughout

Work Experience:-
4 Years full time( with 1.5 years at client site)

Lots of extra curriculars activities.

Kindly advise if the score is sufficient and also help me in knowing other universities for which this score is sufficient.

Thanks
Arun

Dear Arun,

It is hard to know if a 680 is sufficient as I do not know what the rest of your application look like nor the rest of the applicant pool. As a large number of Indians score in the 700's, you might want to retake the test to try and get your score up. You are pretty close, and even if you don't get it to 700+, the effort will be viewed favorably. As for other schools, you will want to target schools whose GMAT averages are in the 600-660 range.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
