Hello,

With a GMAT of 650 i don't think the top 5 colleges in your list will be insurance chances. Unless and until you've got research papers/patents or distinctions at your work place and college.

Your GRE score is decent but provided you have some academic backing (say high %ges, research papers etc.) it may not help you much in getting you a top MBA school admit.

So I would suggest you retake your GMAT and aim for 700+ if you wanna make it to top B schools assuming that you are not a high performer in your work/academics.
