Hello Rahul G R, thanks for your question.

Ultimately, your competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership experience in and out of work, but I think your GMAT is a potential obstacle. What are the mean or median GMAT scores at your target programs? I think 620 is below those averages, but the question is how far below?

In targeting suitable schools, a good place to start would be to compile a list of programs that have a mean or median GMAT score close to yours. You should be competitive here. My rule of thumb is that if your GMAT score falls within the middle 80% range at a school, you have a shot. Otherwise, it could be an uphill battle.


Best of luck,
Brian
