Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Good Day!
I just took my GMAT and the score is very bad according to me 600 overall with 49 in Quants and 24 in Verbal. I am very confused because my GMAT score in all mocks were upward of 650 and in the final exam my score took a hit.

Work experience: 2.5 years by June 2014 I work as a senior research analyst in the specialty chemicals domain( Best Rookie Award in the first year, Knowledge contributor award in the Second year)
Education: Chemical Engineer ( Gold Medalist, State Rank Holder, Scholarship Holder, BEST OUTGOING STUDENT)
Leadership: Secretary, College cultural fest. Event coordinator in all department technical symposiums, Dance Club president
Represented India as a cultural ambassador and toured Europe. Scheduled to tour again to South Africa. Over 1000 stage performances to me credit.

Professional classical music singer - released CD, given over 100 stage performances.
After such academic and cultural achievements all this while my GMAT score is such a let down. Especially English.
Do I stand a chance to get into a good school at all? Please advise

Warm Regards
Vaishnavi

Retake the GMAT. Do whatever it takes to boost that score, because your chances are slim to none for getting into any top 30 school unless your score is at a minimum 660, and ideally a 700+.

Vaishnavi,

Do balance your score - Q vs V. At the moment it is skewed towards Q.

Hi Vaishnavi,

It goes without saying that you need to write GMAT again if you are targeting top b-school(s). However, you may try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://goo.gl/H9xpy

I concur with the others. Retake the GMAT as you will have difficulty getting accepted to a good school with a 600 from the competitive Indian applicant group.

Best of luck,

"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."
