Marshall
Kellogg, Wharton, Darden were in my list as I was expecting a 720+ in my GMAT score, but unfortunately got a low score
. This was my third GMAT attempt. All these schools are good for entrepreneurship and consulting that's why I came up with this list. If you have any other schools where I will fit in, kindly suggest.
Three questions.
I feel that my score lies in the lower end of middle 80% gmat range of these schools, so where do I stand and what are my chances with my current score ?
Since I have almost two months time for apps what are the odds in going for a retake, how much should I target ?
How will the adcoms consider the number of GMAT attempts ?

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
