Hi there,

Thanks for posting. It sounds like the GMAT has been a bit of a frustrating challenge for you, but that said at this point as I'm sure you'd agree, it sounds like it makes sense to call it on the GMAT, focus your efforts on the rest of your applications, and your school list sounds reasonable (if a bit long?!!). ;) Your grades are strong and you obviously have analytical skills, and while you are coming from a competitive applicant group, the team lead experience is a plus (vs not having that experience) so be sure to highlight how you feel you've developed leadership experience. It's also a good idea to emphasize the international experience and what you've learned from that. If you have any more recent community involvement or other activities to share that would be a plus too.

You haven't described your goals or your 'why' (why you want the MBA)... keep in mind that will need to be a compelling story as well. Overall I think if you put together strong essays and applications and do well with interviews, you could see some success within your list. Keep us posted on questions!
