Hi Guys, Need some advise.
I had my GMAT and unfortunately got a 650 despite performing at 710-730 in Mocks.
I desperately want to apply in HKUST, Oxford SAID do u think 650 is acceptable score for applying at these schools?
Also, Since I am working here in Singapore, should i consider Part time MBA option with NUS/NBS/SMU?
Is 650 enough to get into part time?
I am not sure whether i am too excited for part time track.
Below is my profile:
