Dear ML,

Based on your post, I think you might want to retake your GMAT again. You will be competing for seats against many other bankers who will have similar work experience and GPAs, but much higher GMAT scores. While you might have great essays, recommendations, and interviews, you are probably at a bit of risk if you apply at a 620. It is possible you could gain admission, but a GMAT score above a 650 would put you in a better position.

Good luck,
Lisa
