A 540 would barely suffice for a state/local mba program. And I would only recommend going to such a school if you were working fulltime and only due for a promotion by earning an MBA. Many state/local university MBA programs are weak when it comes to recruiting on campus. Especially at the MBA leve...

Alright, well just took GMAT Prep 1 after 3 months of studying and scored a 680 47Q 36V.

Less than 24 hours - 1.5 weeks of prep (NOT ENOUGH!)
So I have been putting off the GMAT because I decided not to go to grad school and then I decided to go. And since I already applied, I figured it would give me an incentive to study. Unfortunately, I had two midterms and ended up waiting until the last minute. DO NOT TRY TO PREP IN 2 WEEKS OR LESS ...
