My GMAT Score is 640(Q40,V39) ,AWA - 5

I am planning to apply to :
1) Scheller College of Business (Georgia Institute)
2) Goizueta Business School (Emory University)
3) McCombs School of Business (University of Texas, Austin)
4) College of Business (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)

Please let me know what my chances are getting into any of these? If the score isn't sufficient ,please tell me how much of a score would be required (As I am planning to retake again).

Hi there,

A few thoughts.... yes I'd encourage a GMAT re-take... schools take the highest score and it's fairly common to take it more than once. Ideally you'd like to get closer to the schools' average scores, which you can find on their websites, on rankings like US News, or on profiles like Businessweek.com. So another 20-50 points or so would really help. In addition, while a strong GMAT is needed for decent chances at a school, keep in mind it will not guarantee you'll get in... schools look at your whole profile.... work experience; past academic experience; leadership & teamwork; involvement/activities; your goals and reasons for the MBA, etc. Good luck!
