I have been reading all the experiences and inspirational stories for past 6 weeks . It's my turn to thank everybody for sharing their advice and stories. I took my GMAT this morning and scored 700. It's much lower than what I really wanted but I guess I am gonna have to step up my game before I can score higher.
Here are my big takeaways which don't get mentioned often enough.
1. GMAT OG is crucial but a bit basic compared to GMATprep software. I have taken GMATprep software tests 3 times each and have encountered more than 85% new questions each time.
3. DS in Number properties is extremely crucial if you plan on scoring high in Quant.
4. 800score tests are often mentioned as tough, but I felt their tests were more on par with original GMAT.
I am not sure if my score will get me into the programs I want to get in. I plan to venture into Investment Management and would like to get into a top school. Suggestions anyone??

If you talk to the admissions committee of any top school - they'll tell you that the GMAT is not the ONLY measure of your application competitiveness. It is definitely a significant measure. A score of 700 puts you in the competitive category. What was the score breakdown ? If you managed to score above the 80th percentile in both Quant and Verbal - you should not worry about your score at all and rather focus on the essays and the rest of the application package.
Getting into a top program is mostly dependent on your leadership potential. As long as you can demonstrate that you have that ability in you to lead and succeed, you should be able to make it.

Pradeep,
Thank you for the insight. The breakdown was Q48 V37. Fatigue brought me down
at the end in verbal. For lot of SC questions I felt like a deer in headlights. I am above 80% in both and overall score is 90%. I am an international student as far as B schools are concerned and there are very few schools offering loans without a citizen cosigner. I thought getting a higher score might improve my chances of getting into these schools. Do you have any suggestions around good schools and their loan programs. My focus areas are Finance/IB/Investment Management.
Thanks
