Dear Rettan,

I would suggest looking at schools that are a good match for your career aspirations and have GMAT averages in the 640-700 range. There are plenty of schools that will fit your needs outside the top 10, so you might do some research on programs consistently ranked between 15 and 40. For additional tips on identifying schools, I encourage you to visit our sticky on school selection.

Good luck,
Lisa
