alpha87,

Can you raise that score? I have worked with people who've been admitted to Cornell with 640 GMATs but only Cornell, UNC, and Tepper are really doable with score unless you are an underrepresented minority. Duke and Darden would be possible reaches with a 660; NYU and MIT would be long shots. Raising your score even to a 680 would help. The goal is the 80th percentile in Quant and Verbal if possible. Are your current Quant/Verbal scores balanced? Feel free to send me your resume for a closer look.
