I just Beat The GMAT!

I just took the GMAT & scored really low (Q25 / V36). I'm looking for advice/suggestions.

I am a 33rd year-old male, non-traditional student I suppose as my undergraduate degrees are in art history, English, and graphic design, and I have 10 years work experience--4 in outside sales & 6 in marketing--currently hold marketing director position for a small business. I have two bachelors degrees--GPA 3.2 first time, 3.7 second time--first from a top tier university & second from a good art school.

Applying to part-time programs at Stern & Zicklin for marketing concentration. Was hoping to submit my applications in the next few days for the fall deadline, but now reconsidering since my low scores. Stern also accepts GRE (my scores Q550/ V640). I feel like my GMAT score is just way too low for a chance at Stern, and possibly Zicklin, too. Should I now wait, retake the test over the summer & apply for the spring semester? Or, should I just hope for a miracle & submit my application for fall anyway? Any advice appreciated.

Thank you, Brent. I just sent a query to both programs explaining my situation & asking if I would still be a viable candidate, or if it just makes more sense to retake the GMAT & apply for the spring 2012 semester instead.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Oh well, admissions at Stern just said "use your best judgement"...doesn't really help so much, but not sure what else they could really say.

I think I will apply for fall 2011 anyway & then reapply for spring 2012 (with a new test score) if not admitted.

Hey JoeChap,

I'm curious to know if you ended up applying.
