Hi,

I recently wrote GMAT and scored 610 (Q = 48, V =26, AWA = 5), I know I did terrible in Verbal.

I have total of 3 years of work experience in top MNC's.

I want to apply for MBA programme for 2010 in UK business schools as there the course is for 1 year.

Considering that I have a modest profile, I would like to know whether I would be able to make it to first 20 MBA schools in UK?

As per my research I have shortlisted few schools for my profile, Pleas suggest.

1) Lancaster
2) Warwick
3) Edinburgh
4) Leeds
5) Strathclyde
6) Durham
7) Nottingham

Frankly speaking you have chances if you write good essay.
One of my friend went to lancaster on 620. Focus on your essay..that what I would say. Good luck.

Rahulbangalore,

Thanks for your note. While you might be competitive at UK schools with a 610 GMAT if the rest of your application is strong, you will greatly increase your chances if you can raise your GMAT to above 650.

Sincerely,

"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."
