I just Beat The GMAT!

I took the GMAT this morning and scored a 690 (Q46/V39). I was aiming for a score above 700, so needless to say I was a bit disappointed. However, I'm trying to look at the bright side of things.. I took the GMAT about a year ago and scored a 550. Relative to my previous score, I improved quite a bit. I'm looking to apply to part time programs at a few top 15 schools. Do you think this score will hold me back from admission?

Lastly, I'd like to thank this great community for all of the help and insight. It is really awesome to see how someone else would solve difficult problems and that really helped me a lot. All of the advice regarding prep materials was also awesome. Thanks BTG!

Just got my AWA score: 6!!

congratulations on the score!

140 points is a huge score improvement! With a good app, I think you would be competitive at a lot of programs.
