how to better my profile

by aditiaggarwal » Fri Dec 18, 2009 5:49 am
hey i just gave my gmat on the 14th .

score - 680 , quant - 47 , verbal - 35 , with a 5.5 -awa.

gave it a weeks preparation ! used princeton review and a couple of gmat mocks, but thats just about it .
i am graduating in 2010 and have no work ex at all ,as well as, my undergrad score is quite low - though my high school records are really very good.

should i really give work ex a couple of years and retake the gmat - shoot for a higher score with more prep ?!!
please advise !!
thanks
:)

honestly speaking I think you should get at least 2-3 years experience by then 680 score should equate well with profile depending on what kind of job you pick up.
I've been browsing net, some top US colleges have been accepting freshers do check out that as well.
If I were you I would re-attempt GMAT to aim 700+

all the best
