Your GMAT score will make you a good candidate for programs like Southern Methodist (Cox), Penn State (Smeal), Wake Forest (Babcock) and Boston College (Carroll).

With your existing GMAT score, there are definitely additional steps you can take to improve your chances of getting admitted - focus on those parts of your application that you still have control over, namely the essays, interviews, letters of recommendation and résumé. Weaknesses in certain parts of your application can be compensated for by strengths, and in your case, these parts of your application will be all the more critical.

So to break into the better " ranked " colleges , or to even have a chance there .. I should re take the gmat ? Is that the only way ? Because i was reading sbout people with low scores having been admitted. Enlighten .

Your GMAT score certainly doesn't disqualify you from applying to more rigorous and/or selective programs - and with strong application materials, you stand a chance of being admitted. With that said, assuming your existing scores, those are the schools that are a good match for you.

We can talk more directly about what you can do within your application materials to better position yourself. MBA admissions is holistic and weaknesses in certain components (like your GMAT) can be compensated for by strengths in others (like your essays, interviews, letters of recommendation and résumé).
