Hi ,

I want to explore MBA programs in Canada suitable for my profile.

Delhi University - Bcom(Hons) with Finance Specialization - 70%
12th - 84%
10th - 80%

I have some solid extracurricular in every field..I have been an office bearer and Chief Coordinator for different societies during my college days. I have been a part of Community Support Team which supports different NGO's in my current firm.

I have professional work experience of around 4 years into Financial Research and Audit. Currently I am working with S&P Global division which supports the credit rating team. Prior to this I worked with EY for 21 months.

GMAT - 570

Looking for pursuing a full time MBA program in Canada.

Do you have any goals?

Hi Duncan,
I am Mainly looking to continue in finance profile and I won't mind shifting to Strategy Consulting domain.

Did you consider a masters in finance?

No I am mainly looking for MBA program..not Masters in finance.

In all honesty, it's going to be difficult for you to get into a full-time MBA, with your career goals, and that GMAT score. For people interested in finance, they'll be looking for a strong GMAT score, especially in the quant section. What was your score breakdown? Can you get your GMAT up to 650+?

Cut off mark of UNSW Sydney is 550.

Monash and University of Sydney do not require GMAT.

Maybe those are good bets?

They are not in Canada
:)

Some universities in Canada require 3.0/4.3 or 75% for your undergrad. You are not a competitive student with your undergrad and your low GMAT score. Specially with influx of applications from Indian students in the light of US/UK visa restrictions schools such as UBC require 30-50 points higher GMAT than their average from Indian students.

Either retake the GMAT or apply to lower ranked profiles.

P.S - Canadian MBA salaries are "lower" than US counterpart. Also Income tax is higher in Canada vs US but Canada provides more stability in terms of visa, residency and immigration.

I agree, you should retake the GMAT.

Yes, salaries in Canada are typically lower, especially when adjusting for currency differences. However, you should also compare costs of living as well - it's a lot more affordable to live in Toronto than New York, or Vancouver versus San Francisco.
