670(Q45,V38)-Disappointed :(

by kiran_sav » Wed Oct 07, 2009 7:36 am
I gave my GMAT and ended up with 670 (Q45,V38).Quant was always my strength and was expecting to score atleast 49.I felt I had performed well and was expecting to reach 700.As for verbal, I was expecting a lower score.Now I am not even feeling like give a second chance.

What are my chances of getting admission into a good one year program.I am looking for colleges outside US, basically in Canada or UK. My profile is 4 years IT experience.

Hey, If you are applying outside the US, the average GMAT scores are lower even in top univs. Your success depends on your story and the essays....

Thanks for your reply praky_rules.
I was wondering if I should give GMAT again but feel with many application deadlines appearing fast,I wont be able to give GMAt early. Will apply to colleges with this score and will keep my fingers crossed.

If you are applying for IMD, ESADE etc, the average GMAT score is 660. If you have the time, you should take GMAT again. You and I have the same verbal score. Couple of points in quant would do wonders to your score. Try allocating couple of weeks for GMAT and take it again. You should still be good for Round 2 in my opinion. As far I know the next set of deadlines is in Jan...thats a lot of time to me....Just my thoughts
