Not shocked as I was getting scores between 580 and 620 in MGMAT and GMATPrep tests.
Last GMATprep i got 670 Q50 V31.
My Experience of GMAT:
I felt that Quant was really easy and similar to GMATPrep. But verbal was tougher than GMATPrep and MGMAT tests.
SC was tricky, CR was the toughest and RC was medium. Just 1 RC was hard, rest 3 were medium.
Although I am planning to retake it in 2 months and apply in R2, but please let me know which schools are mod, ambi, etc. and other than these schools if there is any school which suits my profile and GMAT score.Below is my profile snapshot:
10th: 78%
12th: 85%
B.Tech. : 69%
5.5 years of work exp in IT company(Ranked as 14th in Fortune 500 companies list), headquartered in US.

Not associated with any NGO though i run my own website for health awareness and cancer prevention and promote it through facebook.

My Target schools are Schulich, University of Illinois Urbana Champaghne, Carlson, Fordham, UIC and Depaul.

Hi There,
You have a decent profile overall, save for the lower that average GMAT score. Have you re-taken the exam? I hope you have been/will be successful in pushing up your score by 60-80 points at least. What are your post MBA goals? Could you also describe in detail your job responsibilities? I will be happy to suggest alternate choices.
Take Care,
your choice of schools is quite realistic.

Just want to thank you all in advance for evaluating my profile - looking forward to hearing anyone's and everyone's perspective.
- 25-29 year old male in Toronto
- BComm. with finance specialization from a non-target Ontario university; crappy GPA because I didn't take school seriously (I know I'm an idiot for doing that); CGPA is 2.19, last 2 years is 2.26, and final year is 2.64
- Worked my butt off for the next 5 years of my life; accumulating work experience as described in the next bullet
- 5 years total work experience; including 3 years as an investment banking analyst at a Toronto boutique shop and 2 years working in the corporate strategy group at a large north american real estate private equity firm
- Have not attempted the GMAT yet, but would be open to suggestions on how high I need to score based on my crappy GPA and work experience
Looking to apply to Ivey, Schulich, Rotman, Queen's...
Happy to provide more info if needed! Thanks again!
