Hi Satyam,
I beg to differ with the last poster - schools see exactly when and how many times you took the GMAT (in the last 5 years) when you submit your application. At this point I would accept the 680 and start focusing on crafting your MBA application story.

Hi there - Sounds like you have the start of a solid profile. Are you still living in Texas? You don't mention any international experience or volunteer work. Those might be things to focus on in the next 4 years. If you are still living in Texas (and also went to school there) that would be somethi...

Hi Shib, I've never heard of any specific scholarships for Indian candidates at the schools you listed. All schools have various scholarships - some based on academic performance, others focused on minority groups. Wharton has Emerging Economy Fellowships that you might look into. In general there i...
