Hi everybody,

I applied to several US b-schools last month and as of now have been dinged by most of them (Booth and Wharton were my top choices but no luck at either.

Can somebody help me on what I'm doing wrong, in case I have to apply again next year? I still have a couple of schools outstanding but I am skeptical.

About my profile: Female, from a western European country.
Undergrad performance: 3.5 (converted)
Work experience: 3 years in the accounting field
GMAT: 670
Goals: to transition to the financial services field in the US.

Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome.

You are quite far below the average at those schools in terms of experience, GMAT and your ease of placement. Take a look at GMAT Tiers - strong schools for your GMAT www.find-mba.com/board/27082
and scroll down the thread at Best schools for international students' placement http://www.find-mba.com/board/41143 for the US sub-list.

Thanks for the honesty. I suppose I will wait for my last two choices but it sounds like I might need some more work experience.
