Hi All,
I have got 520 score in GMAT which is definitely on the lower side. But on the other hand, I have a work experience of 3+ years in Tata Consultancy services, with quite good academics, good extra curricular record, and planning to launch a website of my own based on e-Learning.
Please suggest that will I be considered if apply in top 100 B-Schools globally.
I am in a total fix. Please suggest.

P.S. I am taking help from education consultants for applying.

Rathore sahab, pranaam!

When all other aspects of your profile have a 'good' preceding them, why do you want to settle for a GMAT score that's significantly lower than the median for most of the good schools?

Consultants have their limitations (Disclosure: I am one too) and are dependent to a great extent to what you bring to the table. If there are serious flaws in key areas (like the GMAT score), their hands are tied too.

Here's a post that explains what an 'average GMAT score' can get you.

The list of names isn't exactly awe-inspiring.

Recruiters place a huge premium on the selectivity of the MBA program.

If you insist on going ahead with the low GMAT score, you'd probably have to settle for a university where the rest of the peer group has similar scores.

Take the test again, buddy.
