I just took the GMAT this morning for the first time. Needless to say I was nervous during the test, which I think ultimately affected my score. I feel so-so about my score. I know I could have done better, but realistically I wasnt expecting anything above 700 given my practice test scores (highest practice test score was 680).

I plan on applying to Booth, Kellogg, and DePaul Part-time MBA programs. My score falls within the ranges of Booth and Depaul. Kellogg's range starts at 650.

I'm wondering if this score is "good enough" to continue with my applications. I'm not looking forward to studying anymore for the GMAT, but will consider doing so if my score just doesnt cut it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I heard that if your scores are comparitively low it is better to apply week day evening part time mba program instead of weekend part time mba program. It depends again if you are local to chicago.

Good Luck

I heard that DePaul requires 570, so you are good to go, good luck! I will be applying to DePaul too, but first I need to say "Hello" to GMAT!

Thanks for the replies. I plan on applying still and crossing my fingers that the other components of my application make up for the score.

Good luck with the GMAT Margaret!

yeah man, I agree with the people above. I wouldn't go through all the studying to take it over again. You're right there for all three of those programs. It's time to beef up the remainder of your resume.

"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."
