Virtual Fear Vs Reality

by tanvis1120 » Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:57 am
Hi All,

I know that this is not the right time to post this stuff.
I have GMAT appointment on 27th Sept and I am naturally getting anxious and restless as the day is nearing. I have always been a damn nervous fellow ! : (
I have 5 years of experience in software industry and recently cleared an internal Technical lead Certification. Although I have had a fairly good career in the industry (including promotion, award and onsite (US) work experience of almost 2 years) so far, it commonly prevails among a lot of IT professionals (Post GMAT I will post a separate topic for my profile evaluation). My GPA is average too.
I do not know how much I will score on the actual test. In case the score remains below 700 (around 650) (Worst nightmare :( ), is there any likely chance of getting into one of the top 20-30 US B-Schools?? And yes,I think, my situation does not allow me to retake as I plan to apply for Fall 2015, at any cost.

Yes, my score is hovering around 620-650...
This score is not good for the 20-30 top US schools.. that's what you meant, right?
Could you please elaborate "your assessment is correct"?
