I am not familiar with the requirements for MIS programs. However, if you are seeking an MBA with an IS concentration then your low GMAT scores will definitely be a factor. Admissions are extremely competitive and scores below 600 will make it difficult (if not impossible) to gain entrance into a top program.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So, should i retake the GMAT or apply with the same score?
But i will be giving the exam third time... will this make any difference?

Dear shilpishrestha,
I agree that you need to try and increase your score for the best chances. Taking the test a third time will not have a negative impact and will demonstrate your commitment to going to business school.
Good luck,
Lisa
