Hi Guys,

I took my second GMAT, and could only score 610.

Q-47
V-28
OA-610

I was able to manage my time properly but I really screwed my verbal section.
I am highly dishearten, but I do not plan it give it again.

I know this is not an admirable score, but I would still like to know if I do stand any chances for MBA programs from colleges like Kelley, Fisher, Smeal, Scheller, Illinoi, Wisconsin or other colleges ranked from 30 to 50 in the US.

I am currently in India and have 4 years of work experience in Consulting, Business Analytics and Risk Advisory Services.
I have worked with a top Bank and with a top Consulting firm as well.
I also have people management experience in my portfolio.
I am Computer Science engineering from a Mediocre college in India (GPA=3.5)
I am planning for the 2015 fall intake.

I would highly appreciate if anyone could please suggest the changes that I have here and how shall I proceed further.

Regards,
Rj

Hi Rojo19,

I don't think that anyone in this Forum can reasonably define your "chances" at the schools in the range that you've defined. You DO have a chance at all of those schools, but it will be based on your entire application (and not just the GMAT). With a 610/Q47, you have an above-average GMAT score. While it probably would not be enough to get you into a Top-10, it will give you a shot at the 30-50 range.

If you're interested in a specific school/program, then you should be able to research the school/program online to get a sense of "average" admissions data for the last few incoming classes. Part of any good application is how well you "sell" yourself as a strong, interested (and interesting) applicant who will succeed in the program in question. Put in the necessary work on the other areas of your application (essays, etc.) and you'll have a decent chance at any of those schools.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

"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."
