I graduated from IIT Guwahati in 2006 with a GPA of close to 2.7 (on a scale of 4). My GMAT and my score is 710. I might take it again in order to boost this score. I have had a really good experience over the past 2 years now in a company in Bangalore. I plan to apply for the Jan course at INSEAD. I have an impressive record till date (both in terms of academic and extra-curricular activities) and am positive in obtaining good references. Kindly let me know if I stand a chance of receiving a admission from INSEAD. Hi, I’m Raghuram. I graduated from IIT Guwahati in 2006 with a GPA of close to 2.7 (on a scale of 4).

I took GMAT 2 weeks back and received 640 (49M 28 V 78% AWA 4.5). I was expecting around 680 with maybe 50M 30+V . Right now i am in a fix whether i should take GMAT again or make a strong application that will compensate my low GMAT score. I come from a business family, stood 9th in a pool of 50k students that appeared for engineering entrance in 2001 , was just an above avg student during engg but did a lot of extra curricular activities and won inter college event and sports awards, was associated with NGOs like Rotract club and Leo Club and made meaningful contribution, was also the organiser of national level college technical fest under the umbrella IEEE. I was also assoicated with the youth wing of a powerful Indian political party. Have a work experience of 2 years now. Working in an I-bank which is among the top 5 in the world. I am the youngest member in my team. Inspite of having less work ex i was chosen to work in a team which is considered to be the back bone of this I-bank. I want to know if my profile is strong enough to cove up my GMAT or do you advice me to take it again. My target colleges are among the top 20 and few have their deadlines before mid Oct. Sam Hi,

I wanted to improve on my score and I gave it again this year. But I got a very disappointing 570 (M48, V23). This verbal score is not a true indicator of my ability. I am a project manager in an IT industry with a 5 year work experience. Infact I have done very well in at work. I have excellent acads and extra curriculars too. Could you please advice me if I should give my GMAT again? Thanks, Amith Hi,
