First of all, 710 is not a bad score. It maybe below your expectations though. ur somewhat unlucky also I feel. I know some ppl have got 720 with Q-50 and V-37. Anyways none of us really know how the scaled scores exactly work.

I feel with 2 yrs ex, you will definitely have chances to enter ISB. Dont know about other schools. One warning what I would definitely give is beware of entering the IT industry. B schools prefer diversity in their class profiles. and most of the Indian applicants have IT background (including me :neutral: ). You will definitely boost of your chances if you have an interesting work profile other than IT.

And I really admire the way to keep replying to most of the queries on other threads. Keep it up !!

I resent that!! there's nothing wrong with a 710 sure its not a 750/760 but hey its still a great score! I got that score so yeah i know what it feels like. You have got to realise that a score will only get you beyond the door after that its your app that matters.

p.s.Congrats!! Its a Great score

Another thing,
I find so many questions in GMAT Prep from OG
So my scores are inflated to some extent
In real GMAT< to what extent one could find questions from OG?
Just asking abt your GMAT experience:smile:

well, the ones i encountered in real GMAT required a bit more thinking than the OG questions...however, once u get thru the so-called "diff" questions, i got questions tht seemed to be easier than some of the OG questions...one advice though...just try to browse thru KAPLAN 800...i feel it gives u a real sense of wat u can expect in case u get going good!!!

You can leave the GPA blank not a problem. i know i left mine blank.
You dont have to remember the school code as long as you get the college and the program correct.

Hey thnx Neo
Do you advise to spend more time during fist 10Qs?
Did u find Qs similar to OG in ur GMAT?
