Sir, I gave my GMAT today, and got a score of 590(quant-48, verbal-24).
What are my chances? What do I do?
Give it again? I don't have any functional experience and I have a GPA of 2.6.
Please let me know which B-school would be likely to accept me?

Thank you for your inquiry.

With a low GMAT, low GPA and no work experience, it sounds like this is not the right time in your life to be applying to business school. Schools want to accept candidates who have a clear path from their experience to their future goals and have proven that they can handle the rigors of a graduate level academic program. I don't think you have demonstrated either aspect yet, but with time you can improve on both the work experience and the GMAT and become a stronger candidate.

Good luck.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
