Dear boelo,

You want to be as close to the average as possible and definitely in the mid-50% range. You should be able to find on either the Carlson site or other publications what the mid-50% range is for the GMAT. If you are outside this range, then you might consider retaking the test to get your score up to make your application more competitive. It is not that you could not be admitted with a 600, but it would help your case to be closer to the average.

Best of luck,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa. I check their site and found I'm not too far off. I have some good work experience and lots of travel experiences, so I think I'll emphasize those more.
