Mgmat 3- 690
Mgmat 4 - 710
Mgmat 5 - 700
Mgmat 6 - 710

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
