Chances of an MBA school - low GMAT

by xyz1234 » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:48 am
Hi,

I've had some bad luck with by GMAT. I've taken the test 3 times now. I fell ill before my 1st attempt...and thus landed with 570 on the test. My 2nd attempt was the best.. which saw me reach a 690. However, I wasnt satisfied with my score as I was consistently scoring 730+ in my practice tests and decided to give the GMAT again and landed up with a 650.

I have 3 years of work ex and will have 4 years by the time my application goes in. My work ex division (1.5 years in a leading fortune 500 company and at presetn with a big 4 firm in the advisory section). I have good extracurriculars.

I feel the need to take the test one last time.. as I Know that I CAN get the score that I need. However, my confidence has been shattered after this. I understand that with recession kicking in, the competition is tough and hence a higher GMAT score will be indispensable to my application.

I am planning to apply for Fall 2010.

Please advise.
