Dilemma Score: 680 Q49 V33

by anantbhatia » Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:25 am
Appeared today. Had prepared well and worked very hard. Dunno where I went wrong.
Quants went well. Had some difficult questions. Overall fared well through them.
Verbal is never easy for a non-native speaker. Thought I had done well. Questions looked like the ones I had practiced.
Following were my mock scores:-

MGMAT 1: 640
MGMAT 2: 720
MGMAT 3: 730
MGMAT 4: 660
MGMAT 5: 670

GPrep 1: 660
GPrep 2: 710

GPrep 1 (Retake): 730

Shall I appear for the test again? Or do I stand a chance in any of the good colleges? If yes, please tell me which colleges shall I apply for?
pro: 3+yrs of IT work-ex in India.

Hi Anant,

I understand your situation. I too took the test yesterday and got 680. But, I do know that it should have been more.

Anyhow, for your dilemma..

And also, what are the schools you are looking out for? This makes a lot of difference to your original question. 3+ years of IT experience is not an advantage to be frank. I think average GMAT score among IT background people is more.

All the best for your thought process and the plans going forward.
