Looks good man ! You should apply right away. You have good chances of getting through!

Btw, with your GMAT score why don't you apply to Ivy League B-Schools as well.

@deepdutta2402 : I feel my work ex is pretty low, so not sure I stand a chance in ivy league schools. have taken the gmat yet ?
8
@uchiha.itachi : Nope not yet.. Will be taking it.. I think with the score that you have, you should wait and apply to Ivy League ! You can think about it.. what do you think ? MBA is all about experience.. You need to have good experience before joining the program. I hope you are understanding what I'm trying to make you understand !

Hi guys,

i am planning to apply for northeastern for Fall 2013.

My profile:

GMAT : 640

Work Ex : 7yr in IT

Does anyone know any current students who can answer few questions?

I seem to get the feeling that the average exp is very low in northeastern...2.8 yrs as per profile.

Is there kind of more chances for less exp students? I am not sure....

@Atul4MBA : I suppse der s higher percentage of less experienced ppl but dat shldnt affect ur chances. I am just guessing.
13
@Atul4MBA : With 7 years of experience, I would suggest you to apply to Boston University ! Boston University is better than Northeastern University. BU's average GMAT score is 680.

Now that you've 7 years of experience, if you can show your leadership skills and other achievements of yours, then BU might go little lenient with your GMAT score. One most important point BU is that they gives a good scholarship provided your profile is strong.

Thanks uchiha.itachi and deepdutta2402.

Actually I was preferring Northeastern due to low avg gmat score, which would bring more chances for scholarship and GA. I feel it is a bit difficult in BU at my gmat score. Could you please suggest some universities for my profile, where there are good chances of scholarship and GA?

Thanks for the response!

Atul

@Atul4MBA : Please check the forbes link given below..

Check the rankings of colleges and apply as per score and work experience. I would still say that you have good chances of getting through into a good B-school with scholarship and GA as your experience is good.. If you can write good essays and SOPs, then you'll get better B-school than NEU.. Btw, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't apply to NEU.. Just to make myself more clear.. Thanks and let me know if you have any further questions..

Thanks deep!

Small Update regarding Northeastern University B-School:


Two North­eastern Uni­ver­sity alumni—Richard D'Amore, BA'76, and Alan McKim, MBA'88—have joined forces to make the largest phil­an­thropic invest­ment in the university's his­tory. As a result of their com­bined $60 mil­lion gift, Northeastern's Col­lege of Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion will become the D'Amore-McKim School of Busi­ness. It will be the first col­lege or school to be named at Northeastern.
