Need suggestion in selecting a college for the below profile

[supratikray.mufc]

Hi,

I have the following query:

Scored-
10th - 85% [2003]
12th - 78% [2005]
B.Tech(Comp. Sc.) -CGPA- 6.34/10 [2nd class] (2006-2010)

Currently working in TCS as assistant systems engineer since Mar'2011.
No outstanding extra-curricular. Except a minor few stints in college. Only good point is probably is being associated with a NGO since 2011.

Will be completing two years at TCS in Mar'2013. [with no whatsoever managerial responsibilities]

Planning to give my GMAT this august'2012 to apply in the first round of colleges, for class of 2013.

What are my chances in getting through to a good college with a score around 700??

Could you please suggest a few colleges where I would have a chance in getting an admission??

I am a bit new to the GMAT procedures so would require a detailed explanation..
Sorry for the trouble..

Hi! A GMAT score of 700 can be viewed as a good qualifier for a top school, but it in no way will guarantee you admissions. In fact, many of the top schools look for scores well over 700, and want the score on the quant portion to be above the 80th percentile. Just as important as the GMAT are the other components of your application. You need to show strong leadership potential in your career - you don't need to be managing anyone, but you need to show that you are someone that possesses leadership skills by way of taking initiative or making decisions. In addition, AdComs are very focused on applicants extra-curricular activities. They want applicants to be involved in interesting outside activities, and also take leadership roles in those activities. Lastly, the AdComs look closely at your recommendations.

As for what schools you should apply to, that's something largely based on personal preferences. Do you want an urban school or one on a college campus? Do you want a large class or smaller? Do you want a concentration in a particular subject area?

Best of luck,

Rachel Beck
