Hey Scott, Thanks for your reply. I hear what you are saying - thanks. I just feel that now truly is the right time for me to apply to business school. People are telling me wait for a year and reapply with a better GAMT. But put simply, I disagree because I feel the time is now. In terms of being a...

Hi Stacy, Thanks a lot for your e-mail. I'm planning to apply with my highest GMAT score irrespective of what happens tomorrow. I've actually taken the GMAT 4 times but simply cannot get a score higher than 550. Do you think this will be held against me? I will no doubt use the optional essay to exp...

Hi Stacey, I hope you are doing well. You really do a great job on this forum! As you may remember we spoke about a month back (see above post) regarding low GMAt issues vis a vis top 10 schools.

Hey Koolnal- thanks for the post. Cheers for the link. Certainly reassuring! I think that is what I have been doing too-instead of taking loads of CATS to simply focus on getting new literature and understanding.

Hey - just saw the below post and I'm in the same boat, can't seem to get my GMAt higher than 610.
Am looking for some success stories for inspiration. And exactly the same, question, any way of addressing a low GMAT score on the optional essay.
Thanks.
