Hi,

Queries,
1) I feel GMAT score is currently a week point in my profile.My friends and colleagues applying from India,all have a score of 700+. So i plan to re-prepare and take gmat again by nov end . Pl tell me if thats a good idea?
2) I plan to take a LOR from the CFO of my company, though he has not supervised me directly, i helped him in cost cutting program of my company and he can provide a good insight in my extra curriculars and community service at FSL. Does it makes sense to ask him for a LOR, pl guide?

Thankyou for your patience :)
