Those days are gone when you could get an admission just by scoring well in the exam. ISB has same selection process as the US schools and you are judged by the overall application rather than by only GMAT score. So you cannot assume that you can woo the adcom with a high score. But yes, a high sco...

With a score like this you must try to woo ISB...I am sure you can charm many schools with a score like this....So where are you working? Dude it would all depend on a plethora of factors - Applications, LOR's, undergrad GPA... So which are your target schools? I am working in Los Angeles for a top...

Congratulations on the 49Q. That is awesome. You scored 50 points higher on the real test than GMAT Prep. Thats rare. 650 is a good score, but judging by your quant ability, you can score higher in verbal for sure. Goodluck with your prep.

dont be disheartened man. What was your breakdown ... Quant, Verbal?
2-3 hrs a day is a lot of time and you can improve pretty quickly with that. What do you think the biggest areas of improvement are for you?

Hey quick question in your 1.5 months of studying how many hours a week did you prepare? In response to your question, I would say you might want at least another year of work experience but I think the average for most schools is closer to 5. But I would imagine it is dependent on the specific sch...

Thanks guys. I was expecting something around 720. I was ecstatic when I saw the 770 on the screen.
Now I gotta build other areas of my application. How many years of work experience do you think I would need to apply? I am 22 years old and have been working as a consultant for a year.
