Hi confused13,

Just about every Business School posts relevant information about applications, average GMAT scores (and the "middle 80%"), etc. on their respective websites. Most Business Schools will NOT publish a "minimal score requirement" to apply, but with a 650 or higher you should feel comfortable applying to any school that you like.

Scholarships are a different issue, since each school (and each scholarship) has its own particulars. For this information, you'd probably need to contact the Financial Aid Department (or equivalent) at each School in question. There might be other factors (beyond a minimal GMAT score) that you are not aware of.

Hi,

To be able to answer your question completely, we would also need to know more details about your overall profile. Your academic records, your work experience, any extra-curricular interests that you may have had. Remember one thing, getting an admit from your dream college is not just about a good GMAT score but also about a nicely presented application with strong credentials.

The colleges you have mentioned are indeed the top ones and you should certainly approach your gmat preparation with a target score in excess of 700.

Do share more information about your profile and we would be able to advice you better.

Wish you best for your gmat preparation. Do keep us updated on the progress you make.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
