Can anyone tell what is the criteria for GMAT , when someone takes the test again.
Like in GRE i think most universities take an average of scores , in case taken with a span difference of more than 3 months ,

Can someone please tell what is the criteria for GMAT

Rahul ( for just in case )

Quoting the ISB website verbatim:

5) If I submit more than one GMAT score, which score will be considered by the ISB?

The higher score would be considered, provided it is within the validity period of five years.

I would like to share my profile here and ask you gew questions which may be useful to others also.

I am a Design Engineer (Automotive Sector) having work experience of 5 years by March 2009.

I am in UK from Sep 2006 and will be here till March 2009.

My GMAT - 690 V-36 Apt-47

Awa- 4/6


Now my questions:

How versatile is it being a Design Engineer (not IT) working for a Engineering Services Company ?

Since my GMAT is on lower side, what other factors do i need to concentrate so as to make my application strong?


If i apply in the very early rounds say by July15th (as the online application link is going to start from July), when will the result for the same would be known?

How is important is the GMAT score for getting shortlisted?

What is the avg exp for your batch and avg GMAT?


Hope to get all the answers


Cheers.

Hey Ekalavyaa,

good to find a person with similar profile

what do u think of my profile ?

do i stand any chance?

major disadvantage is officially(designation wise) i have not worked as a team lead or project lead, probably in june i will br promoted to Sr.Design/CAD Engineer

so i am doubting on that aspect


can you post your profile please?

u r in germany since 2004, thats great amount of internationa experience.

Seniors an you throw some light on our profiles and let us know how much does the designation matter in gettting through ?


Seniors can help !!!!!!!!!!!

Guys can any one tell me what si the min exp requred to get into isb..

And one more thing i have around 10 months exp in IT so wen will i be eligible..

[e_reema]

I have seen many posts here which simply say ."How is my profile??" "Do tell me is it worth ISB??" "What chances do i have with this profile??"

There is no one better than us who can tell us where we stand..
The profile has three parts
Acedemics, Extra cirrulcular, Work -ex

Academics:- You urself know how have you fared in your academic career
Extra-cirrucular - if you have participated in some national/ international events n won, that would be wow.. but even if you hv participated in an event in your locality , you may showcase that ..it would all depend on the way you have presented your story.
if u dont hav any , start working for an NGO or start doing some social service.. experience the challenges and live the stories that come your way..
Work -ex- a regular IT guy may be having much interesting job than the SC judge of India.. you never know.. again its the way you present..

there is nothing such as a great profile and nothing such as bakwaas profile - its the way you present it , thats what it matters!!
