If you can afford to take the exam again and you can study 3 hours a day 5 days a week, I think you can definitely raise your verbal score. It may be worth a shot. If you have the time and money, taking it again can't hurt.

According to my research, you are slightly older than the average age of full-time
MBA candidate for top programs in the US. So I guess the answer to your question really depends on the schools of your choice.

Heh, sorry about that. I am really not that much younger than you, and age was one of my concerns when I started this journey, hence it was the first thing that I noticed in your profile. The reason why I pointed it out also is because age is one of many factors beyond our control, and GMAT score may be the few offsetting factors we do have in our control.

With that thought in mind, perhaps you might want to consider posting few threads about your target schools in other part of the forum for more feedbacks.

So the split was V48 and Q34 or other way around? If this is what you have, definitely worth a try..

Hi,
If you can spent some money then you can contact admission consultant otherwise do some googling or ask people who are already in some b-school.
