Is GMAT 640 sufficient to apply this year?

My GMAT Score is 640. I have a Master Degree and a work-exp of 4+ years in an IT consulting firm in Blore, India as a Business Development Manager handling teams and enterprise products. Given the criterion that I would be focussing on the top 10 US b-schools, need your inputs on whether I should apply this year with the current score or do I improve my score and apply the next year?

Hi tnttijji,

A GMAT score of 640 is a bit low for top ten programs, particularly because your background and work experience is a bit overrepresented in the applicant pool. I would suggest visiting the sticky thread on GMAT and GPA.

Good luck!

"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."
