Hi,
Please evaluate my profile. I have given my GMAT exam recently and scored 660 (Q49,V31). Although its not a great score and am planning to give it another go in December, I would like to apply to couple of US universities in R1 with this score. My profile is as follows,
GMAT: 660 (Q49,V31)
TOEFL : 101
10th: 82%
12th: 94%
B.E.Hons Computer Science from BITS Dubai CGPA: 8.1 (on 10)
Professional Work Experience: 33 Months (Full time, Dubai), 8 Months(Internships, Dubai) and 36 Months of NGO work in India that i have been doing simultaneously.
I am an active participant in lot of extra curricular activities and was also part of the organizing committee for most of these activity events. In my full time work exp with an IT Consulting firm, I got a promotion from an executive level to a managerial post in an year.
Post MBA: I look at myself trending on the path towards Operations and Technology management; sort of a techno-leader aspirant.
My target Universities for R1 with 660 score are:
1. Arizona State Univ (Carey)
2. Michigan State Univ (Eli Broad)
