Your existing score should be good enough to get you into a program especially considering that you are not a native English speaker. The quant is actually considered a more critical score than the verbal for b-schools anyway, so I would say you should now focus on your applications and make a good impression in the personal interview, which can help "make up for" any shortcomings your GMAT score represents in verbal. Good luck.

Columbia, Cornell (Johnson), Emory, & Northwestern all offer accelerated programs, as do many others. Many schools also offer executive MBAs which can sometimes be completed in around a year as well.

49Q and 34V is usually higher than 670...I've seen a lot of 690s.

Just wanna share my experience on the above comments.

I think the splitted score on V and Q are not directly converted to the GMAT score. Likely depend on the set of question you get.

I got Q49, V35 but end up surprisingly 710. So there should be something to do with the difficulties of th e problem set itself then.

Anyway, keep up!!! I know most people aim at 700+ (including me) but it's just the matter of the feeling when you got 7++ . Anyway, I think 670 and 700 do not make much different in admission. You'd better focus on essays and recommendation to make you stand out of others.
