Welcome to the MBA forum. You said you are taking GMAT next Saturday whereas I already see a GMAT score added to your profile. Is it a mock test score?

Thank you so much!. The previously stated GMAT score was my Target and previously taken practice exam but almost 3 years ago. I took the exam last Saturday and scored a very horrific score of 490. I am on a mission of extensive prep to reach at least a score of 720 in one month.

Nationality / Age - Indian, 28, M

GMAT - 670 (V32/Q49/ IR3/ AWA5.5)

Undergraduate : Computer Engineering (2012)

Work Experience - Doing enterprise product management with my start-up which creates SaaS products (CRM, ERP) for small businesses. Have more than 150 clients. From to start to end - coding to customer support, doing almost everything.

Why MBA? - So far so good. Fulfilling experience. But I feel have plateaued out. Seeking scale. To learn how to achieve growth and scale by being surrounded by bright people.

Post-MBA goals - Enterprise product management with a bigger company (like Salesforce, KEAP, HubSpot etc)

Program Selection : *Confusion*
May I get some help with school selection?

On this score, I received a rejection from :

    Foster
    ASU
    Carlson
    Mendoza
    Georgia Tech
    Rotman

Tried to improve my score but couldn't.

I'm not sure, given my score, profile and post-MBA goals, where can I apply. Help?
