beaten by Gmat - 610(q:48,v:26)

Guys, I have been beaten by GMAT. Scored - 610 (Q: 48 - Percentile: 85; V: 26 - Percentile: 42). I am ruined now. Really I had very high dream about GMAT and getting admission in business school. But I failed to meet my goal. God knows what will happen!
However, regarding my study plan - Started preparation from September, 2007. Consulted books - Princeton Review, Kaplan 800, OG-10 and OG-11. Mock test I appeared - PrincetonReview - TEST1 - 585, TEST2 - 650 and GMATPrep - Test1: 630, Test2: 600. I admit that my verbal section is week. But while attempting GMAT Qs, I found the Qs are not so tough. May be, I was over-confident at that time!
Guys, here I need a suggestion from your end. Do you think with this score I can apply to LBS, INSEAD, MIT-SLOAN or HBS? May be my question appears to you little awkward as a guy is trying to reach to moon with nothing in his hand! But really I don't have any idea about this.
A long sad story, right? Ha ha ha! However. I have planned for appearing GMAT again. I will start preparation for that. But in the meantime, I wish to apply to colleges with my current GMAT score. Guys , do you think I am on the track? Is it feasible to apply for top colleges with such a low score.
Correct me If I am wrong


Regards,

Amitava

Sorry to hear your story. I suggest you post this query with additional detail on your background in Stacy's forum.

Wish you good luck on the next attempt. Do identify your weak areas. The test score has been in line with your prep scores. Careful review of your prep tests should tell you the areas to work on.

I would say good but not Excellent. I think about 10% get 6.0 so unless you get that its hard to qualify as Excellent :) Just giving you my thoughts.
