Success at a standardized test doesn't make you better or worse. Assuming that your looking to apply for next fall, you have ample time to work on your application and may be give it another shot.

Hey my friend,

Don't feel disappointed.. Your score is really good. You have performed very well here, and you have time. I am sure you can get 680-700, actually more if you try again. You are not far away from that score!

come on cheer up

Hey dude its not a bad score. Still you have plenty of time to give another short. Think positive, you can do it.

hey bewakoof, i understand what you're feelin. Like everyone said, 660 is competitive. But you are not applying till next year so you have plenty of time. You can take it again if you like. But don't wait too long, you might lose some knowledge. I know it sucks. Can you give a debriefing? btw what is H/S/W/K?

hey buddy,

660 is nice score. if you read the posts of Antmaval and Arsen-Wagner, you will realize it. they prooved that GMAT alone is not a confirmation to go to H/S/W/K/C/C.

Give another try.

Hope you will nulify your name.

Goodluck...............

Hey Abhishek,

I was waiting for your post here, sinec I knew your test was on 10th.

FIRST OF ALL, 660 is a very good score, don't feel bad!
Many people here have said that GMAT is not everything, GMAT is just another part of application & probably not as important as other parts of application. Also, there is lot of time for 2007 apps, so you can go ahead & give it another shot, I'm sure you will crack it

All the very best my friend

thanks all for all the encouragement and support... You guys are the BEST!!.. I dont have to look for encouragement elsewehere when I have joemama, paul, duttsit and many more in front of me..

btw.. for all who don't know my name is Abhishek and not bewakoof.. though I lived up to the potential of my nick (Prof, I won't dissapoint you next time )No its not because of self-esteem.. its something my mommy used to call me.. " mera bewakoof beta".. :p

I am from Kathmandu, Nepal. I come from a family where I don't think we value education as much as we should in today's day and age. Perhaps because no one has ever graduated in family, too busy earning bread. I was the rebel in the family and decided to take the unconventional way of actually going to college. I knew I couldn't do it in India or Kathmandu because I would be engulfed in my parent's business and thus decided to come to US at age of 16. Everyone in the family was very very very upset with me..

This is where I faced the biggest problem in my life my ability to speak English. English was supposed to be my 4th language. Hindi, Nepali and Marwari were my first 3 languages.

Well I worked hard.. and graduated from college without any help from my parents.. and with no debt .. with a GPA of 3.97.. Not bad ehh?? What I missed out was on my basics.. in both English and Math.. I had to take 2 english classes to graduate and which I passed with some amount of work..

So, from where I started(500 in my practice test) I don't think 660 is a bad score for me. It's an achievement. From the viewpoint of the amount of hard work, and the potential i have, 660 is very dissapointing and I could have done with anything 680-700. May be I needed a bit of luck.. I didn't want more than 700 either coz than it won't be fair to everyone else who is much more smarter than I am..

Right now, I am 22 yrs old and have a bit more than 2 yrs of work experience as a Software Engineer. I know I am young but at the same time I think I am ready for an MBA. I am trying to apply for 07' MBA.

I will soon post my briefing on my test experience.

Hey Abhishek! Don't be too disappointed. To start with, 660 is a good score. You are young, smart and have accomplished so much at such a young age and all by urself. I am sure you can hold your own if you go for it once more. You have all the time in the world.

Good Luck!

Well said, as always . I second. Where are you these days BTW?

Abhishek (good that I know your name, your nick name is hard to write ), let me congratulate you on the great achievement you have earned all "self-made". It shows your character and trust me it takes you far ahead that a 7xx gmat score alone can.

Gear up and retake if you really feel this does not represent your preparation (i remember you were clocking around 7xx in your test scores). On the other hand, if you can narrate your story effectively, I guess you might have chance in elite schools.

Best wishes!

duttsit
