Hi Experts,
I need help in deciding whether I should retake GMAT or completely focus on my application with the score I have. I scored much lower than what I expected. I took the test on 20th Nov. Following are my details:

MS Computer Sc. from SUNY Stony Brook, GPA 3.55 in 2006
Working for a technology product company for last 4.5 years. Have been involved in semi-managerial roles.
Looking to jump into Product management after MBA.
Indian Male, 28
Target school: NYU Part time, Fall 2011, Westchester Campus
GMAT score: 590 (Q:48, V:23)

I still have time but I will have to regain my confidence if I have to retake the exam. I was scoring in the range of 660 to 710 on Practice tests but failed on the actual test.
The median GMAT score for NYU part time has been 620-720. Do you guys think I have a chance with current score? If not, when do you guys think I should retake the test?
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks a bunch...

At this late in the game, you probably don't have enough time to sit the GMAT again.

So you have two options

1.) Apply and write the best essays you can. Who knows you might get lucky. Worst case scenario you waste the money with the application fee and apply again next year. But the point here is, have you got the time? What about your recommenders? It's Christmas, do they have the time?

2.) Wait and apply next year. Sit the GMAT again when you feel confident about your verbal. It's your call as to when you should sit it.
