With a 600 GMAT you will have difficulty getting accepted into any of the top 50 schools in the US. Your verbal is particularly low, which will suggest that you may have trouble handling classroom discussions. You will also have to explain why you are interested in a fourth degree. Schools are very wary of people who appear to be using graduate education as a way to avoid work. You will need to make a particular effort to explain why you need two more years of school.

Your work experience will also present difficulties. You have several different jobs in a short period of time (5 jobs in 3 1/2 years) and show gaps between assignments. The schools will assume you were let go from each position, either for underperformance or because you don't have the determination to stay with a position. You will have to be very careful to explain the circumstances behind your job changes.

There certainly are schools that accept applicants with 600 GMAT scores and many of them offer a fine education. You need to research schools with metrics close to yours and work hard to prepare convincing application essays.

Good luck,

Thx for the evaluation.....

But I don't think as far communication in the class would be any problem to me.....my english is very fluent and I don't think that GMAT english can really judge that....because I actually got tired out in the exam....

I have switched jobs because I never got to do what I actually wanted to and I have made my point in the essays.

It is my 4th job.....

Can you mention me few good schools for marketing ??....

Several of the big state universities have great marketing departments. Look at Ohio State and Indiana. They are particularly strong in consumer marketing.
