I think you should just apply to a school. There are a lot of AACSB accredited schools out there that'll take with a this score. I can mention two in the San Francisco Bay-Area

1. University of San Francisco

2. San Francisco State University.

By the way do you telling us what the two tough questions were?

thanks
Drew

you can get in a lot of trouble for posting actual (or even approximations of) GMAT questions on the internet...just a heads up

It must have been love...but it's over now!

Hi tripti_ind,

I would say you retake the exam.Your Quant scores are really great .Congratulations for that.!!!.If you V score would have been 10-12 + points more you would have scored 700 +.This time you just need to focus on Verbal.I think one month of perp is enough for you.According to the general statistics people who give exam for 2nd time improve arond 50 + points.

As you have covered all the required material just focus on revision.OGs and LSAT KAPLAN tests for Verbal.

Good Luck!

Thanks,
Ajay

"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."
