I have been to sea since Feb'07. However since ours is a contractual form of employment, does the work ex that counts is only time spent at sea? or a cumulative. </p> <p>Keeping in mind that though away time at home is technically a vacation period seafarers today have to continuously keep upgrading ourselves through various self-sponsored or company-sponsored programs and seminars. This as well as higher competency examinations.</p> <p>And hence the doubt. Would appreciate if the moderator shed some light on the issue. </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/gmat-cutoff#post-353 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 16:00:48 +0000 achieverspoint4123 353@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>@arch.barc-The average score for the students with science background for nearly all of the top business schools, as commonly listed analyzed by our ranking services, is in the upper 600s or low 700s.<br /> Most business schools prefer a GMAT score of less than 2 years old. </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/gmat-cutoff#post-348 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:39:18 +0000 arch.barc 348@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Dear Sir,<br /> What is usually the GMAT cutoff score for students who have science background? </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/gmat-coaching#post-336 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:16:55 +0000 harshita 336@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>can i know where is the best coaching in hyderabad for gmat </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/can-i-get-through-to-isb#post-239 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:33:48 +0000 Admission@ISB 239@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Shiv,</p> <p>You should definitely go ahead and apply to ISB.

Thus, a better score will definitely add strength to your application. Secondly, competition is not in our hands.

Prima facie, you fit into the ISB profile. You only need to take the GMAT test which requires a lot preparation. I will suggest that you visit the site <a href="http://www.gmac.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.gmac.com</a> and learn more about the test. There are various coaching centers like Kaplan, Princeton Review, Jamboree, Career Launcher, etc, that assist in GMAT preparation.</p> <p>I would also like to highlight that the programme at ISB is very rigorous in content and structure. Students who join the ISB must possess an academic record that can convince the Admissions Committee of their ability to cope with the rigorous curriculum. Our evaluation therefore considers your undergraduate performance. However there is no cut-off score.</p> <p>In case, you had an average academic record in the past, you can always make it up with a good GMAT score and a strong application. The ADCOM will also look at the depth and breadth of your work exp. While writing the application essays, make sure that you highlight your professional capabilities and leadership skills.</p> <p>For Admissions deadline, please visit the link <a href="http://www.isb.edu/pgp/For_Indian_PassportHolders.Shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.isb.edu/pgp/For_Indian_PassportHolders.Shtml</a></p> <p>Admissions Team </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/isb-class-of-2010-chances#post-96 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:02:05 +0000 sarathidey 96@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Thanks for the reply,<br /> I'll refrain from mentioning the GMAT goofup. Could you also please clarify that although the score of 660 is below the last year's average, it by no means rejects your complete application, and you go through the complete application in a holistic way. As its not possible for me to retake the GMAT, and shall be applying with this score at round 1 only.</p> <p>Thanks again,<br /> Sarathi </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/isb-class-of-2010-chances#post-95 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:51:58 +0000 Admission@ISB 95@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Sarathidey,</p> <p>I will not advise you to mention the GMAT goof up in your application. </p> <p>Prima facie I would say your profile would be suitable for admission to the ISB. Even though we have a holistic approach towards each application, the actual admission also depends on the applicant pool. </p> <p>Please note that the average GMAT score in the IT applicant pool is 730. A good score strengthens your application but does not guarantee admission while a low score does not necessarily mean exclusion.
