Well, I messed my GMAT and scored only 590. And, owing to my current circumstances, I am not able to retake the test anytime soon.I was to have given it 3 months ago, but anaccident caused to postpone it to last week.
What would you recommend for my application strategy? I presently have 3 years of experience and a GPA of 3.5

Are there any good schools that accept these low scores? I am totally clueless after such low scores, as I was expecting close to 680.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Balaji S

Basically you have two options: 1) Apply to a second tier business school, or 2)Wait until you are able to study, retake the test and earn a higher score then apply to a higher ranked business school.

Your score is at the lower end of the range for many second-tier programs and you need to weigh the expenses of coming to the US for an MBA against the actual ROI of that choice. While the GMAT is not the only component of an MBA application, such a low score will make it virtually impossible to be competitive for a top program.
