Saurabh,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Your question of whether or not to apply now is dependent on your ambitions. If you are targeting a top-20 program, from what you have provided, I think that you are facing a serious uphill battle year. You are an Indian technologist with no extras and a very low GMAT score. You have your work and that is it. If I were you and I were targeting top-programs, I would start to build my profile now for next year. You can take leadership roles in your community, advance personal goals, take a finance or accounting class, visit schools and improve your GMAT score - all facilitating a much stronger candidacy.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Shinewald

Hi Thaks for the reply,
I have cleared level 1 of CFA from ICFAI India which is recognised for its CFA course all over world.
Also I am ambitious to go in August 2009 but I dont want to compromise on college.I feel I have a good background.
When is the latest I should give GMAT second attempt to be considered for this fall.?
Should I wait and does college after first 20 matter in ranking?
