Hi,

I gave GMAT last week and scored 680 (Q-50, V-30). I have around 7 years of work experience (in Telecom domain). I am targeting top 20 B-Schools.

Is this GMAT score good enough? I am confused. Please advise.

Thanks,
Sumit

@sumit2010

r u targeting indian/non-indian B schools....
u will need to do some more research..
based on my personal experience sometimes less than 700 score do not help in getting calls too..
again it all depends on the way u build ur application..
u can shortlist ur colleges that u r going to apply and then check the profile of each schools to check where u stand

Were u getting a much higher on the prep tests? If yes, then give it again .. Is the V score truly reflective of your ability? BTW, 680 IS A VERY decent score ...

Nice score :)

As far as your question goes I don't think anybody can answer the question whether this score is enough or not?
The one only person that can answer this question is you. Are you satisfied with your score and if not then put your head down get working again to get the score you want.

680 with 7yrs experience sounds good.GMAT score is one part of application.There are many criteria that affect ur admission process.Work on your applications and essays.
