Hello there,
Good to hear from you!
If those schools are your target schools, I would strongly suggest you consider retaking the GMAT and delaying your application by a year.

Have a look at this fantastic article about Indian candidates and retaking the GMAT: https://admissionado.com/mba/to-retake-o ... n=mba_blog

Hi GMAT Club Team,

Thank you for your answer. I want your help in 2 more things.

1. I am 29 years now, is this age matters for admission ?
2. With the mentioned score of 650 which school would be best to target?

I am ready to wait for 1 year and give my GMAT again but just was wondering if you could suggest a school right now with this score.

Thanks,
Jagan

Dear Jagan,
29 is a fine age. I wouldn't worry about age before 32.

As for schools you can apply to, look at schools that have a GMAT range around your GMAT. In your case this will like mean schools in the 30-60 ranking (according to US News and world report).

I hope this helps!!

Please suggest if these would be okay for international student placements

I think that's a pretty fair list. But make sure you review their hiring stats and employment report to ensure you are getting the most out of your education. I'm more familiar with GW and Rutgers which both offer very solid programs, but the other three I know less.

Best,
Jon
