Thanks, Linda.
What business schools accept candidates with such GMAT scores(630). Do any of the ranked schools accept such scores at all?
Because, the schools I am targeting are ranked between 30 -50(UCSD is not even ranked). If these schools don't accept, then I guess no other will?!
Could you please suggest schools relevant to me.
Would you consider preparing again and retaking the GMAT?
Don't focus so much on the ranking. I am guessing that you are located in California and the reality is that you are applying to almost all UC programs. Now all these schools do accept a few applicants with a 630 GMAT, but you are asking me for a profile evaluation based on what's most likely to happen. Schools that are less picky about the GMAT would include MBA programs that are part of the Cal State system, or private programs like Santa Clara, Pepperdine, or Loyola Marymount. You may also want to check out Hult in Boston, which looks more at work experience than at the GMAT and has a very international program.
Best,

Thanks Linda,
Based on your advice, I'm going for a retake!
However, this means applying in R2 & even R3 for a couple of colleges.
I have one more concern: Even if I do well in the retake , does my relatively low work ex (2 yrs) weaken my profile?
I have heard people say that unless you have a great extracurriculars and GPA, GMAT 700+ also doesn't help much.
I know, that I should be concentrating more on GMAT now and less on speculating!
But, there is a lot of guessing game happening everywhere and a sound opinion from an expert would be highly appreciated.
