GMAT 700. Is it good enough to apply?

[Ankit_87]

Hi,
I wrote my GMAT today itself and got a 700. Was wondering if it would be good enough. I have 3 yrs of work ex.(as of now).
A couple of years with Cisco.
And am currently working with a top notch finance firm. (in technology division).
My first preference is ISB.

Acads:
NITK,Surathkal Gpa - 8.32
12th 88.4
10th 88.2

Want to pursue general management.
Should i retake the GMAT and try and get a better score ? Or do i stand a chance with this profile.

What was the breakdown of quant and verbal? A 700 is a very respectable score, but you want to get at least a 48 in quant, especially if you want to work in finance.

700 is good score, though not a great one. You have a good gpa , too.You can still apply if other parts of your profile i.e. work experience , international experience , extra curricular,and community involvement) are positioned well in your essays, resume and recos.

The breakup is 50/34.

I think you're totally fine. Although your verbal is not stellar, it does put you at about 70th percentile, whereas your quant is great and puts you at the 95th percentile. I'd say your score is pretty typical for an Indian candidate. If you think you can pull up your verbal significantly, you should go for it, but at this point, you should focus on other aspects of your application and prove that you can handle verbal stuff through wonderful writing!

Yes,you can apply for Full time MBA,with this current profile.You can surely go for General Management with a good and an impressive application,which should include your work experience,academics and all.
Your GMAT score is good enough to apply in any business school if your application have strongest side with extracurricular although you have not mentioned about quant and verbal.
I think you should try once for your aimed university.

I think the score is completely adequate enough for you to get into a full time MBA program with a respectable status. There are many schools out there that would be willing to take your score into consideration. If you're GPA scores and essay all turn out to be scored well, they also can be beneficial for your acceptance into a good school. I would consider doing some research to locate programs that interest you, to which your scores and overall academic status would meet their requirements upon acceptance.
