Dear experts,
I took GMAT today and managed to score 700 less
with this score, do i stand ANY chance for MBS and AGSM re-appear on GMAT ?
My profile details are as below:

Nationality: Pakistani

3 years of work exp. in Telecom
Good reference letters.
good extra curriculars

I know my academics look weak here, but please share your opinion and the way forward for me...
Thanks,

Dear hamxa,

While your quantitative score on the GMAT is solid, your overall score of a 610 will be seen as low relative to other applicants from your region of the world. Since your GPA is below average, you need your GMAT score to be higher to demonstrate your academic aptitude. There might also be concern on your English ability based on your verbal score, so your essays, interview and TOEFL or IELTS score will be key to showing your proficiency. I think you should take the GMAT again and try to increase your total score by at least 40 points.

Good luck,
Lisa
