- GMAT Score:680
I am sorry as I am writting this post way after my gmat. But I had to as I was immensely helped by the BTG forums. Thanks Eric for that.
Anyway, I took the gmat in the month of september and scored a 680. As many would expect, I was disappointed too. I had scored around 720-730 in all my mocks however a 700 in my last Manhattan Mock. I am not going to write anything about my strategy for studying for the gmat, however I want to tell you guys that I went ahead, believed in my profile and applied to two programs Wharton in round 1, and ISB in round 2 and got interview invites from both.
My only advice for you guys is that do not stress on re taking the exam. The admission process is much more than just the gmat. Focus on that. Give your best in preparing for the gmat, do not stress too much on the score. From my own experience, anything above 680 should be fine ( as i scored a 680 ).
For those who are wondering: My profile:
23 Indian Male.
Non engineer.
2 years experience in our own family business (which is in the beauty care industry) after graduation.
Professional Table tennis player (this is what made me stand out)
Played for India as a Member/captain of the Indian team atleast 50 times in 20 different countries and 4 different continents.
I do not know whether I will get in, but I would definitely say, do NOT consider your score as a low score. Let them decide that. Do not stress on a retake unless you have plenty of time before the deadlines. It is the whole package that matters and not a race just on the basis of GMAT. All the best do well. Will keep you posted about my results.
