Hi everyone,
I re-wrote my gmat today and got a disappointing score of 560 and debating with myself whether to take the gmat again or to start application process. A brief background and objective for myself:
Bachelors: graduated as a computer engineer from an avg ranked university in India with a 7.68/10 GPA (I still need to figure out a way to convert it on a scale of 4)
GMAT: First attempt in Sep, 2011 (Q44, V21, AWA 4, Score 540)
GMAT: Second attempt in Nov, 2011 (Q44, V24, Score 560)
Experience: 4.5 years in IT industry working as a Programmer and onsite team lead in Insurance domain. out of these 4.5, 2 years of work-ex is in USA.
Target school: I was targeting universities like University of Southern California (Marshall), Cornell (Johnson), UCLA (Anderson), ISB but at this score looks like these would be difficult so I am now open for an average ranked university also.
Programs: Full-time two year MBA
Objective post-MBA-graduate: start as analyst
Right now, I am debating that I should start my essay writing process so I can meet the round 2 deadline or register again for my 3rd GMAT attempt and apply either in later rounds or next year. also would writing GMAT 3 times have any negative impact on my applications? is there any other schools that you recommend for my career path? I understand that my verbal needs major improvement.
Please help !!
