Re: Profile evaluation
Hi abhi,
Thanks for writing in. Unfortunately I don't know too much about the specific type of program you are looking for. Many candidates with IT backgrounds that I work with are seeking an MBA to diversify their skills, but it appears you want to actually specialize in IT within an MBA.
Since you seem to have a target list of schools, you can easily go on to their web sites and learn what the median GMAT is for the most recent class, as well as the middle range of GMAT scores. This should give you a clear idea of where you'd want to score on the test.
As some general advice, I would advise you to focus on extracurriculars and achievements since you've left undergraduate, as those hold a lot more weight in the grad school process. You'll also want to make your "why MBA" story more specific; schools want to hear more about the skills you wish to learn and how they influence your short-term goals, rather than just opening up new opportunities.
Best of luck!
