alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 I would worry that your low GRE score may be a bottleneck. Have you considered a retake? Have you already applied to all these programs?

Showing impact and growth at work, supported by strong recommendations, will be important. Two years of experience will be at the lower end of the spectrum.

Are you also involved in any activities outside of work?

And yes, I have already applied to these programs however, I have applied for a Master’s in Management in more prestigious schools such as LBS and ESSEC; instead of a MBA. For the same reason, I have also given the university specific aptitude tests delivered by IE & Emlyon. I am confident that I have been able to present my professional journey well and have strong recommendations too. For extra-curricular activities, I have demonstrated experience in social work and I have enrolled in an ongoing 6 month long online course administered by a prestigious B-school in India, as well (1)
