To be honest, the top 16 schools are so competitive now that a lower than average GMAT is going to be a major handicap, no matter how strong or unique the rest of your background may be. And for the top 8 schools you listed, you need at least a 700 and ideally a 720+ or else your chances are going to be slim - especially as an international applicant with such a low verbal score (which will be of major concern with any adcom).kuliyevanm wrote:Hello. I'd like to ask you to evaluate my profile and say how strong I'm for the selected schools. Meanwhile, it would be nice to hear your opinion on whether I should retake GMAT. I'm so busy that I don't actually have a time to retake it unless it seems as the critical factor for acceptance to MBA.
