GMAT score of 660 sufficient?

[sona1988]

Hi Guys,

I'd be grateful if someone can kindly evaluate my profile. I just gave my GMAT today and scored an average 660(disappointing considering I scored higher in GMAT Prep tests). Anyways, I am not too keen on giving it a second attempt.

My profile is as follows:
Std 10: 90.67%
Std 12: 86.33% [PCM: 96.33%]
Graduation: BE in Computer Engineering with Distinction
2+ years of work experience in one of India's leading IT firms.

Considering my low GMAT score, I have virtually eliminated applying in any of the tier 1 Universities such as Duke[Fuqua School of Business], Johnson Cornell University, etc.

I intend to apply to the following Universities:
May's Business School
Ernest Scheller College of Business [Georgia Tech]
Pennsylvania state university(Smeal)
W.P. Carey school of business(Arizona)

Is that a good decision? Also let me know if I should also look out for any other universities apart from the ones given above. My GMAT score threw me out of gear, so I really need all the help that I can get.

Thanks in advance!

Is your GMAT score your only reason for now applying to Johnson or Fuqua? That's definitely not a good reason give that a 660 is reasonable. I totally understand why you're down on yourself, but giving a second attempt is always a good option! It hurts now, but it sounds like you can do better and you shouldn't sell yourself short.

You haven't explained what you hope to get out of an MBA, so it's hard to recommend. What are you looking to do? What kind of MBA program appeals to you?
