Hi viru, it all depends on your profile.

You can view the Duke details on this BW page
https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/ra ... fuqua.html

The avg gmat score is 690 there. You are 50 points below. The middle 80% range is 620-750. So you can still make it but strong academic record & great application essays will be the keys.

Best of luck & keep us posted.

Everybody needs good essays to get into a top school. A high GMAT score can only get you so far at a top school. People with 800s and 790s get dinged at top schools all the time.

At a mid-ranked school, like below 30 on the US news list, a high GMAT score will go far and it will be very hard to get in if you're below their range for accepted students.

Hello,

please take a look on the following link to see a rough outline of the importance of each aspect of your application: https://www.optimus-prep.com/application-components

As you can see the GMAT score is just one out of many important aspects. You should get an admissions consultant to fine tune your applications. This will fix the odds in your favour
