which schools I can apply?

I understand that various factors influence the admission process.. what I was just wondering whether having GPA 4.0 in both undergrad and Masters have any impact .. Whether somewhere around 650-660 would be good score to be competitive? With 5 years of work exp?.

where are you looking to apply? also are you looking into Full time or Part time programs?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I think with 5 years of work exp and a 650-660 on ur GMAT - u got pretty good chances to apply in top 30 b schools as per the FT rankings. Coz the average years of work exp is around 5 years for many B schools. Also 660 is an average schools for most of the B schools
have a look at the rankings and then the particular websites and the statistics to get a clear picture

Hope this helps :)

you are having 5 years of experience .Apart from that a decent score GPA 0f 4.0 in both undergrad and Masters ....
U surely gonna get good university with a score of 650 plus..Then also try for 700+ ..
Go through some old HBR and other management magazines they give a good review with score ,college , experience and ur academic records....
