Hi all,

I took the GMAT today and ended up with a 690 (49,35). I was getting around 740 in the mocks, but I guess the test pressure did me in. Could anybody please tell me how my chances are for ISB? What are my chances at the 10-20 ranked US business schools?

Thanks

GMAT Score:770

Hey don't be too hard on yourself - 690 is still a pretty good score! If you're planning to retake, then I suggest you focus on the verbal, since it's obviously your weakest point.

I'm not an admissions consultant, but from what I understand Indian applicants typically have very high "stats", so if you're shooting for top 20 you'll probably need to retake.

Thanks DanaJ.
I realise verbal is where I need to concentrate.
I used the Manhattan guide for SC and I feel it has helped me. Could you please suggest any similar material for CR and RC quality practice?

Thanks

Hi rseeker2,

I am sure its tough to accept the fact that you missed out on 700 that close.Nevertheless, congs for the score.
I was tempted to post you on this looking at yr profile as I its completely similar to mine. I am planning to take gmat in sept09.I have been preparing mainly from OG12 and OG11. I was looking for some online Test material for practice. Can you recommend me something on this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
target_mba2010

In addition to visiting this wonderful site please visit
https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/gma ... l-f31.html and read Ron's explanations to SC questions.

This is a question/answer bank for GMAT PREP questions mostly SC and some CR. It helped me a lot.

Regards,
CR

Hi target_mba2010

The OGs should do. Take the GMATpreps for online practice. And yes, as cramya has suggested, look on the forums if you can. Good luck for your test. btw, what is your profile?

GMAT Score:750

Quant scores matter more than Verbal. So with a 49 you are in good shape. 35 in Verbal is not horrible and you'll probably get in wherever you want if the rest of your app is strong. 49/35 is a problem only because 35V is below 80%ile. If you can raise it to 38 then you are in good shape.

Same thing happened to me yesterday -- got 690 too

by xyz21 » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:44 am
It's a score that won't help you but won't hurt you too much either. I was very disappointed as well because I was getting 700+ in my mock tests. My downfall was caused by poor time management.

For ISB 690 is not bad if you have a non-IT profile. For top 20 US schools it's a decent score if you have good work and leadership experience.

If you are targeting round 1 applications then you should just go ahead and apply.

Good luck!
