Dear Rahul,

If you have only taken the GMAT once, then I think you should spend some time preparing and take it again. With your current score, you are limited on schools in the US that will be interested. To be competitive for second tier MBA programs, you would need to score over a 650 on the GMAT. I would also encourage you to do some research on MBA programs in the US that offer strong operations curriculum.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thankyou Lisa for your valuable advice.

What should I look for in schools to determine the extent to which they are strong in operations?
Top 10 list is one way to do it, but with current score I am nowhere close to getting an admit from them.
Kindly suggest where can I research and the criterias for evaluation.
