Hi hbsorcbs,

Thanks for posting. It is difficult to give an opinion because of the limited information you have written. I recommend aiming to score a 700 at a very minimum, as Harvard Business School's average GMAT score was 730 this past year.

You should also look to show progression in your career and evidence of leadership experience.
