Oh, just some more info: I practiced several sports at junior level (I qualified 4 times at Track & Field Italian championships at Junior Level).
I can get very good letter of reccomendation from both professors and employer (from the local company which hired me as intern).
I'd like to know if you believe that with adequate preparation I can reach 650 mark on GMAT.
When I scored 620 on the practice GMAT, I scored 42 on Math and 35 on verbal, or smething like that.
I'd like to work in the consulting field, I'd love to! But also being an international manager or a real estate company manager would fit me very well!
Thanks again Stacy!!
Italian, 25, social sciences degree... do I have any chance?

I would definitely retake the GMAT - it would be great to at least hit 650. You have time so you have nothing to lose. I also suggest you work for a couple of years. This will greatly improve your chances and expand your possibilities, of going to a school with a lot of consulting firms recruiting. However, if you are determined to apply this year, the GMAT will help.

Hi Stacy,
and thanks for your answer. May I bother you just another time?
I thought about the possibility of working a couple of year in order to have better chances of admission, also to other schools (like Rice, Brigham Young, i.e.). But I fear the job I would get with my BA wouldn't enable me to get any really relevant position, anything I would have to be proud of write about on my resume I mean. I could get a job in a local firm/cooperation working in the cleaning sector (where I did my internship): in this case, what position would you apply for?
As you have seen, I'm considering applying to B-Schools whose admitted students have a low amount of work experience: do you think that a GMAT averaging other admitted students and an above average GPA will help me being admitted, should I decide to pursue my MBA without waiting?
Thanks a lot again for your help!
Sincerely,
Roberto

I cannot really comment on your current job prospects, but it does not matter so much what you do, it's how you perform and advance in your position. I am sure you could get into one of the schools that you listed, but with solid work experience, you could expand your list of schools. Since you have specific career goals, you want to make sure that target companies recruit at the schools you are applying to.
