With a 660 and a steady job at Intel from India, you are going to be hard put to get into Top 10 programs, whose average GMATs are between 40-60 points higher than yours (and likely 20-30 points above that for Indian candidates). If you really want to limit yourself ONLY to top 10 programs, I suggest retaking the GMAT. Otherwise if you are a bit flexible, you can consider apply to some Top 10 programs and some outside the top 10 too.

Hi Vikram,

You are aiming too high. 660 is way below average. Agree you have an Intel brand on resume but thats not enough.

So, in case you want to target top 10 schools in US, retake GMAT to get a 730+ or so. Even at that score a lot depends on how you present your candidature.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
