Dear mohit108,

I think you should take your GMAT again. While your quantitative score is quite strong, your verbal score and AWA are quite low. I do not think many US MBA programs will be comfortable with those scores since the programs will be instructed in English. To be a competitive applicant for a top 50 US program, you will need to increase your overall GMAT score by at least 50 points.

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your quick reply. I wanted to know that with this score and profile which school could i get into. Also is the profile mentioned above good enough for the top 50 US MBA schools? I am planning to give my GMAT again. If a get a score of something around 650-580 then will my application will be competitive enough to get into top 50 US MBA schools or so i even need to improve my profile. I am interested in doing the entrepreneurship course.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
