There's no fixed score. It's the score that gets you in, the score that makes you feel satisfied about your performance. Usually people are comfortable with their scores once they are at or above the average score at their target school.

Good luck!

It means that you said to the GMAT after taking the exam:
Hey GMAT, What you thought you were when tormenting our lives ?
What made you think that you could stop us from achieving our goals ? See you are not that smart.
I conquer you, I override you, I make you insignificant in my B School process.
