Hi Akshay,

Your WE seems to be fine, but you have not mentioned the number of years you have worked.

Regarding school selection as per your GMAT score, I would not apply with a 590 .I would retake GMAT, score a decent 700+ score and then begin researching schools that match my interests and goals.

I hope it helped.

I would think that you will have to take your Verbal score to the 75th percentile (atleast) in order to be a serious contender for the top 10-12 programs. With your excellent quant score, and 75th percentile in Verbal should take you very close to the 700 level overall and with your profile and WE you will have a good chance at a lot of the top programs.

Well, sire. looks like a retake of the GMAT is in order. Better to do that a few times first, before you start deciding on which school you will apply.

"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."
