Dear aitxaz,

With the very limited information your provided, it appears you have the foundation for a competitive application. Your GMAT score is in range, albeit below average for your target schools. Thus you will need to have a compelling package where your other components balance out your GMAT. Perhaps you have a strong transcript and a successful, professional track record? Also, you want to distinguish yourself from the many other international applicants, so use the unique aspects of your background to your advantage.

Good luck,
Lisa

hey,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have worked with number one telecom services provider in the past. also, i have internships for all the summer breaks during the college. All the companies were top of the line. I have international experience too (UK). Lately, I have been working on a development project in my hometown which is underdeveloped and needs good human resource. Its a government funded project with people as beneficiaries. I volunteered with UNDP too. Also, I am teaching at a local University as visiting faculty. My previous grades are not so good (avg = B). I am going to improve my GMAT this month and I am very hopeful that I will cross 700 mark this time.

What do you think?

Regards.

Sounds like you are on the right track and doing all the things you need to do. Just be sure to use the essays, recommendations and resume to highlight your accomplishments and skills, as well as make a compelling case for your admission. Good luck on your GMAT retake!
