Dear arjun1984,

To be competitive at any of the schools you noted, you will need to retake the GMAT and increase your score closer to 700. Ideally, you want to be above the school's GMAT average to be in the best position. You might also consider revising your school list to have fewer top programs, broadening your mix to include more reasonable and safety options. For tips on identifying programs, please read our sticky on school selection.

Good luck,
Lisa
