Hi,

I know that 700+ is the ideal GMAT score that a prospective MBA student should aspire for. But can this be relaxed a bit for me?

My vital stats are:
Age: between 25-30
Edu: Have attained Masters degree - commerce
Wk Exp: 5 years in business services domain
Citizenship: India
Target MBA Major: Intl. Business / Consulting

Target MBA Prog: IMD, Wharton Lauder program, USC iBEAR, Fletcher School MIB, INSEAD

What GMAT score should I target for?

If you are targeting schools like Insead or IMD, then a 700+ score is always helpful. If you have a score below 700, then you must have an outstanding profile.

For Fletcher School MIB - 620-650 should do, given your 5 years of business experience with Masters degree. With 650+ if you apply here in the first round then there is a greater chance of getting a good scholarship from Fletcher..

Thanks for your replies sumanr84, papgust.

Maybe a more appropriate question would be:

what should be my target well-known B-schools with a GMAT score in the range of 600-680 (given my profile in earlier post)?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
