Hi,

I recently wrote GMAT and scored 610 (Q = 48, V =26, AWA = 5), I know I did terrible in Verbal.

I have total of 3 years of work experience in top MNC's.

I want to apply for MBA programme for 2010 in UK business schools as there the course is for 1 year.

Considering that I have a modest profile, I would like to know whether I would be able to make it to first 20 MBA schools in UK?

As per my research I have shortlisted few schools for my profile, Pleas suggest.

1) Lancaster
2) Warwick
3) Edinburgh
4) Leeds
5) Strathclyde
6) Durham
7) Nottingham

Frankly speaking you have chances if you write good essay.
One of my friend went to lancaster on 620. Focus on your essay..that what I would say. Good luck.

Rahulbangalore,

Thanks for your note. While you might be competitive at UK schools with a 610 GMAT if the rest of your application is strong, you will greatly increase your chances if you can raise your GMAT to above 650.

Sincerely,
