Hi Krissnaa,

I think your work experience and your extracurriculars are pretty interesting and unique. The GMAT is a bit low, but I would think you would have a good shot at the other programs on your list. NUS is getting more popular so it's difficult to say on that one, but still worth a shot!

All the best,
Mili

Thanks a lot..just one more thing..Are scholarships given based on only GMAT?? I mean does GMAT score plays a greater part in scholarship being awarded

Merit scholarships usually do take GMAT and other academic achievements into account. There are other types of scholarships, too - the opportunities vary by school. I recommend you look at what each of your target schools offers in the way of scholarship opportunities.

Best of luck,
Mili
