Reapplication M15
I’ve been applying to M15 MBA programs for the last 2 years with a 695 GMAT.
Profile:
Indian male, 31
6 years of work experience
Marketing background
Mostly applying to M15 schools
This year I retook the GMAT and scored a 715.
I know demographics + age + overrepresented applicant pool make things harder, and I’m trying to realistically assess my chances before going through another application cycle.
For people who successfully reapplied to M15 schools:
Did a score jump like this materially help?
How much do schools value persistence/reapplication?
At this point, should I focus more on essays/story positioning rather than stats?
Any advice specifically for Indian male applicants from non-traditional engineering backgrounds?
Would appreciate honest feedback from current students, admits, or fellow reapplicants.
