i am currently on an L2 visa(dependent for an L1A visa holder,MY Husband) residing in florida.i've not been working since jan 2011,as i got married and moved to different countries adjusting to my husband's job transfers.

2.do all schools have fall and spring semesters?
3. will i be considered as an international student or out of state student and what are the deadline for the application for each category?
4.which are the universities i can apply with my score?
5.should i consider retaking the gmat to better my score?(as 650 is the lowest i've got in my mock tests.range-640-740 in some 25 tests)
6.how helpful is having a green-card ,as we are expecting to get it in a few months( 6-8 months)?

1. At this point September 2013 Class
2. In the US basically yes. Some have trimesters. In Europe and elsewhere the system can be different
3.International yes. Out of state everywhere but Florida.
4. LOTS, depends on your goals etc... and see next answer:
5. Yes, yes yes and yes! Take it two or three more times if you have to, until you are getting near your best scores
6. Will be helpful to alleviate the concern about you being able to stay and get a job.

True dat!

But since a GMAT retake is in order anyways, it's better not to rush things.

"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."
