Kindly help me with my chances in one of the universities.

Re: Profile Evaluation Request
Hi Arash,
Thanks for writing. I suggest you focus on your holistic work experience, and emphasize the aspects that you feel are most relevant to your MBA application.
I am not familiar with the Asian schools you list, but for the North American ones I'm concerned about your GMAT breakdown. A 29 Verbal is right around the 50 percentile mark, and I think that is going to be tough to overcome at these schools. You may want to see if practice tests indicate a retake would help raise your Verbal score.
Your post-school extracurricular work sounds potentially interesting as well, and you may want to highlight that as a differentiation point.
Good luck!

Re: Profile Evaluation Request
Thanks daniel for helping me with my profile evaluation. Can a good TOEFL score be used to compensate for my low verbal score?

Re: Profile Evaluation Request
Hi again,
This question comes up frequently. It's my take that it can help a little but not significantly, as the two are not interchangeable.
