Re: Business Schools with low GMAT [#permalink]
I agree with InterviewBay. While Neha is correct that the GMAT is only one component of the application process, it's a big one and it can close doors before the rest of your application even has a chance.

It seems you have only taken the exam twice (your post and profile are two different scores). If that's the case, your quant score is fine and see you did better there. However, improvements in quant will only get you so far. Focus all of your energies on verbal - a 27 is very low and any incremental improvement there will have a marked improvement in your overall score and percentile.

Don't worry about looking at schools until you've taken it again. School selection due diligence should be conducted when you have all the pieces figured out, the GMAT being one of them. I don't think you should settle for 620.

Re: Business Schools with low GMAT [#permalink]
I concur with Neha that GMAT score is one of the components of the application package and sometimes it can be offset by exceptionally strong extra curricular, academics, and professional experience. I recently worked with applicants who got accepted into Manchester and ISB with GMAT scores of 610 and 620 respectively. You may email me your resume for a free profile evaluation.

And yes, I agree with others that if you have time , your best bet will be to retake GMAT and raise your score to increase your chances.
