GMAT : 600 , TOEFL : 112 IBT anf GPA : 3.7

[shahram29]

I have MBA degree and I am trying to apply for some business schools in US for PhD in Strategy. But my GMAT score is not high.
Its 600 and my TOEFL is 112 IBT and my GPA is 3.7.
which business schools do you recommend? The ranking is not important for me and if it is more than 100 it's OK.
I prefer some schools in Boston . How about Boston college ?

I just got into BC with a 600 GMAT... that is a fine score considering your high GPA. Go for it!

Thanks for your reply , But I have graduate from one of Iran universities , is that important for them or not?
I have some international papers too...

I agree that BC is a great school. I would definitely add BU to the list.

Going to a school in Iran will give your application a piece of cultural diversity that will be valued. Don't let a 600 on the GMAT hold you back.

If you think you can improve that score 30-50 points, it would be well worth the effort!

In general, I recommend you pick 4-5 schools. Make a 1 a stretch school and then pick the rest in your target range.


Best,

Jay
