I scored a 580 on the GMAT Q34 V36, and want to apply by round 2 (Jan 15). Texas A&M, TCU, and Baylor are my target schools. I work in the north texas area and these schools are ideal.
I have 2 years experience working on a trading floor of a regional investment bank, have a small of amount of charity work, and graduated from the Univ of N Texas in Denton with a 3.1 GPA (good amount of extracurricular activites). 25 yr old male looking to get my MBA to improve my academic background and provide opportunities for future endeavors in the financial industry.
I understand retaking the GMAT could boost my score but I don't know how much difference I would see. I want to start Fall 2012 and round 2 is the last round for being considered in financial assistance plus I hoped an early application could help my chances.
Are my schools out of reach? Should I wait another year to study, retest, and apply for next year?
