First attempt- 640 Q48, V28
Second attempt- 640 Q47, V30
Target Schools:
US - Any Top 15 where I stand a good chance
Europe - LBS, INSEAD, IESE (not sure how it fares globally, though FT ranked it in Top 10)
Although I know I should give the GMAT again, as it clearly is below par at most schools I'm aiming at and doesn't reflect a true measure of my verbal abilities, my current work load and the low motivation (of having faltered a second time for reasons I still haven't been able to figure out)
are big obstacles in me taking it again. And I want to apply this year and a bit confused as to where all I should focus my energies.
I want to pursue business strategy/ general management post MBA
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Cheers
