Hello!

I studied for the GMAT all summer and took the exam a few days ago. I got a 570. 60th percentile verbal, 38th percentile quant.

I am looking into top 50 schools, particularly University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. What do you think my chances are?

Here's a bit more about me:
Penn undergrad - 3.7 gpa
3 years of work experience (communications planning and brand consulting in NYC)

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi socko34607,

A 570 is a slightly above-average Score (the average on the Official GMAT tends to hover around 540-550 most years). Since you're ultimately asking an Admissions question, you should try asking the Admissions Experts in their Forum:

When are you planning to apply to Business School?
What was your score goal when you started studying?
