Stacy,
I recently struggled with the GMAT and still haven't broken a 600! I took the risk anyways and applied to a top 10 school for Fall 2007 because I felt I strong in my other areas (GPA - 3.75, 5 yrs of work experience at a large financial corp.,etc).
I wasn't surprised when I got my rejection letter but I thought I just might have been waitlisted. I tried to ask the committee how I could improve for next year, but didn't get much feedback from them.
So my questions to you are:
1) do you think my rejection was was solely due to my GMAT score?
2) do you think I should write a letter to the Director or Head of
Admissions with the hope he gives me feedback?
Please advise. I want to make sure I can get in next year.
Eager to go to a top 10 school in 2008

Not sure what school you applied to but there are some schools that give feedback and others do not! If they said no, it is probably a no.
There are people admitted to every top schools with a sub 600 GMAT, but they are few and far between and you would have to have a lot going for you in other areas. I have ot seen the rest of your app, but my guess is that the GMAT weighed heavily.
