Took the GMAT on 11/11/11. Was supposed to be lucky but wasn't much. Quant. was awesome but I still don't know what I messed up in Verbal. Do not want to retake because this was my best shot. Any chance for ISB? Profile reads like 50 months of Workex, good acads and extracurriculars in school and college.

mustang_28, you're right, that quant is awesome! But as you know, the overall is low for ISB. It's tough to stand out in the super-competitive admissions. Taking the test again could boost your chances.

Not what you want to hear, we're sure, but it's probably the way to go if your heart is set on ISB.
