Hello,
Just saw your post regarding low GMAT scores. I took and got a 660 with 49 Q and 31 V. While I know it would help to retake the GMAT, I don't have enough time between now and October 1st to re-prepare and send out college applications in time for the First Round. That being said, I wanted to know what kind of schools to consider with my credentials/experience.
GMAT Score - 660 49Q and 31V, awa -5.5 and IR -4
Overal GPA - 3.39 (IU)
Work Experience - KPMG US (1 year in Audit) KPMG Kuwait (almost 3 years in Financial Consulting and 1 promotion) and recently switched to a large telecom company to the marketing division. This was to get some specialization in a sector as well as to understand how to drive revenues up.
Going forward Im looking to get into a role where I can use my feasibility and business plan experience as well as that of marketing together and I'm not sure how to put it across.
Other extra curricular activities - Toastmasters Kuwait - President of the Club for 6 months in 2011 and Currently VP of PR of a club of about 25 members (2 months)
Freelance model in Kuwait and India. Participated in 3 rampshows for charity and two other for cultural events, and have done several other photoshoots(~15)/promos(~4)/tv commercials (~3) etc. for local and international brands. Additionally, I was an RA for two years during my undergrad, and alumni president for a year at my undergrad school.
My main target schools are Duke, Austin, Carnegie, Ross, UNC, USC, UCLA. I wanted to know how to further narrow down and where all I would stand a chance. While I want to get into a great program, I would only want to apply if I know my experience and credentials would atleast be considered.
Thank you very much.![]()
