with a gmat score 590, which school i can apply?

by wyfwyf007 » Mon Jul 12, 2010 3:04 pm
I am a student just finish my undergraduate course and got an overall GPA 3.8/4 in CSUEB. Major in business, options are Accounting and ITM. Moreover, I am a member of BAP and BGS but not an officer, and the bad thing is that I do not have any working experience... therefore, my resume may not that good compared with people with many working experiences...

I'm not planning to apply for a MBA course. I just want to apply for a normal MS course major in Supply Chain or ITM. So I am wondering is there any chancesI can apply for a top 30 OR 50 university?

Thx guys!

You should have a shot at a top 50 school especially considering your good academic track record. Most schools post their mean or average GMAT or GRE scores, but you should look deeper into a school's 80 percent range where you will find a much broader score base which likely includes 590 at many of the top 50. Even more important than your score, however, is your ability to cast a compelling vision in the application essays about why you want the degree and what you plan to do with it. I have seen as low as 480 GMAT get into a top ten school because what the applicant lacked in score, they made up for in other areas. Good luck.

Thanks a lot.
I have one more question abot the gmat score, so, i planned to retake the gmat this month, lets say what if the score i get this time is even not reach 590, is that gonna affect my application? i heard that some schools are looking at the latest score but some schools are looking at the highest score, is that right? therefore, if im not very comfortable to take the test this time is that ok i still take it?

EssaySnark says, for most schools, you self-report the score you want them to consider by entering it on their application. We've never heard of a school only looking at the "latest" score. When you send the scores to the school from the GMAC website, EssaySnark is pretty sure that all the scores are sent, so yes, the school will see the entire history, but that's OK. Usually, testing again is seen as a sign of dedication and commitment to the process, so even if you don't score as high, it won't count against you. The problem would be if you test over and over and over again with no improvement.

Good luck with it!
