Hello,

Thank you for sharing your profile. It’s likely that the 610 GMAT will make top-10 level programs in the US and UK out of reach. From your description, I can’t tell the extent to which your career might neutralize that score. Within those industries/sectors, if your career was truly outstanding and you far surpassed your peers or had some very unusual exposure that the b-schools would likely not see in any other candidate, there might be a chance, but still remote.

Also, the GPA from your previous education will be a factor. If it’s very high, it would counteract the 610 GMAT to some extent, though not completely.

I suggest that you either improve the GMAT or target schools below top-10 level. Good luck with your MBA plans.
