610 GMAT Score.. Need Guidance

by Rojo19 » Sat Jun 07, 2014 11:00 am
Hi Guys,

I took my second GMAT, and could only score 610.

Q-47
V-28
OA-610

I was able to manage my time properly but I really screwed my verbal section.
I am highly dishearten, but I do not plan it give it again.

I know this is not an admirable score, but I would still like to know if I do stand any chances for MBA programs from colleges like Kelley, Fisher, Smeal, Scheller, Illinoi, Wisconsin or other colleges ranked from 30 to 50 in the US.

I am currently in India and have 4 years of work experience in Consulting, Business Analytics and Risk Advisory Services.
I have worked with a top Bank and with a top Consulting firm as well.
I also have people management experience in my portfolio.
I am Computer Science engineering from a Mediocre college in India (GPA=3.5)
I am planning for the 2015 fall intake.

I would highly appreciate if anyone could please suggest the changes that I have here and how shall I proceed further.

Regards,
Rj

Hi Rojo19,

I don't think that anyone in this Forum can reasonably define your "chances" at the schools in the range that you've defined. You DO have a chance at all of those schools, but it will be based on your entire application (and not just the GMAT). With a 610/Q47, you have an above-average GMAT score. While it probably would not be enough to get you into a Top-10, it will give you a shot at the 30-50 range.

If you're interested in a specific school/program, then you should be able to research the school/program online to get a sense of "average" admissions data for the last few incoming classes. Part of any good application is how well you "sell" yourself as a strong, interested (and interesting) applicant who will succeed in the program in question. Put in the necessary work on the other areas of your application (essays, etc.) and you'll have a decent chance at any of those schools.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
