I am an international student. I took gmat yesterday for my first time.

I got 560 47M, 20V. I think I would do better but I do not have time to take again.

In this situation, Can i be admitted at university at buffalo.

I graduated in mechanical engineering in Thailand and worked for 1.5 years.

My GPA is very low, 2.73. Can you suggest me what school I can get in?

Dear casper_eng,

Honestly, I think you will have a hard time gaining admission to most schools in the US with your current GMAT score and GPA. You need to show a strong command of English and your verbal score will raise some concerns. If you can do well on the TOEFL, that will help. I think you should give serious thought to retaking your GMAT and applying next year. If you still want to proceed this year, then I think your options are quite limited. I would suggest identifying programs with GMAT averages below 600 that might be a good match for you.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"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."
