If the other parts of your application are strong, and depending on where you're applying, a 570 may be just fine. I scored a 540 in April and just didn't have the time or desire to try for a higher score. Fortunately the rest of my profile was super strong and I was accepted into both part-time programs to which I applied (including a top state school). I am now an officially enrolled and registered MBA candidate and am starting classes in the fall! Don't lose hope.

Based on your profile and the schools you're targeting, what score do you think you need?

Hi Black_cat,

Can you please tell me which universities you were accepted. I have a score of 540 and I was wondering the same. I know we might have a different profile, just curious about the universities you applied and got in.

thanks

hi Black_Cat, Are any of the schools you were accepted to, in canada by any chance? If yes what are they??? Compared to US, Canada's universities are so hung up on the GMAT. I have the similar GMAT score and GPA, but I have been working for the past 10 years and do not even have much time to spend on GMAT prep.

I don't even see a reason why we would ever need GMAT type math or english at the workplace even if you are top management...

GMAT is just a big rip off, considering $250 per exam.
