550, very disappointed... Will I get into any MiM program?

[Enforcer]

Hello All,

I want to start my MiM this fall. I gave the GMAT yesterday and scored a low 550.
The detailed score is as follows: Q-44,V-22,IR-2 and total 550.
I'm not bad in English but GMAT verbal really sucks.(especially the RC and CR parts)

Well, I don't have time to improve the score as I want to start this year.
So, I need your help because I don't know where to apply and where not to.

I want to Apply in US/Canada. So, here's a list of colleges;

1. University of British Columbia - Sauder (MM)
2. Duke - MMS: Foundations of Business
3. HEC Montreal - MSc in Management
4. ASU - WP Carey - MiM
5. Concordia - John Molson - MSc in Management

Please suggest more programs for me as well.

Hi Enforcer,

You might be better off posting this in the Admissions Forum (on this site); the experts there will likely be able to give you some pointed advice about your chances and how you should go about applying.

With the list of schools that you've named, you can visit each of their respective websites to see how your GMAT score ranks (relative to the average GMAT score, middle-80%, etc.). This should also give you some perspective on the strength of your application. While it's understandable that you want to start your Master's program as soon as possible, you may end up having to retake the GMAT.
