Doctor of Medicine, average GPA and Moderate GMAT score

[cavaliar]

I m devastated with my GMAT score today, as i have got 640.
My profile is

Education: Medicine graduate from Delhi University
GPA: 60% - ranked 10 (considering only 40% students pass without any supplementary examination)

GMAT: 640(q49 v28)

Experience: 4.5 years(by next fall) varies from

• Residency in a government Hospital 1 yr
  Private practice with a group of doctors 1 yr
  Consulting Firm 1.5 yrs till date

Extracurricular: Social work in rural settings, donation camps, setting up of cultural club in organization etc..

I was targeting following schools:
TUCK
DARDEN
DUKE

But, i m confused regarding my candidature for these schools.
I haven't seen any medicos being listed in the general MBA program class profile (i do not want to go into health care focused program as i want to get the flexibility of a general MBA program and combine it with my professional experience.)
Kindly help me out in this dilemma..[/list]

Dear cavaliar,

You are right to be concerned as a 640 is low relative to other applicants from India to Tuck, Darden and Duke. There is still time to take the GMAT again, so perhaps secure a test date in November and try to increase your score? Your experience and education will help to distinguish you in the applicant pool as long as you have a solid rationale for getting an MBA relative to your past experience and future career goals. Finally, you might consider identifying some alternative programs with GMAT averages in the 620-660 range as backup options.

Good luck,
Lisa
