I'll second this and I still have GMAT round 3 (after a disappointing second attempt) to knock out this Saturday before I can click submit for my Round 1 applications.

I'm not boasting any impressive quant stats with my official test scores, but prior to my second GMAT attempt I was scoring between 43-47 in my official and MGMAT prep exams (all full length) before proceeding to bomb quant on test day. My last math class was college algebra and statistics in high school. The Manhattan Math Foundations and the 5 Manhattan quant strategy guides were what I started with and they break it down extremely well for those of us who have to relearn from scratch after so long. I highly recommend them but for me, an official class was definitely not an option with my unit's optempo. If I had the opportunity to, though, I definitely would have taken a prep class.

Hello all,
Not a US Vet/active duty. But, I'm an officer in the Canadian Air Force currently serving.
Looking to apply to some of the top 20-30 B Schools. I'm concerned about my low GPA (2.3) and low GMAT (580, Q45, V25). I did my undergrad in engineering from the Top university in Canada. Studying for the GMAT had been a challenge because I am often not in town due to various short term deployments and a very high work tempo. However, I did write the GMAT and achieved that score.
I have 5+ years of experience working in the military. Any pointers for leveraging this experience to over come the low GPA/GMAT? Or should I consider another attempt at the GMAT (this will again be challenging as I will not always be home for work reasons, which prevents a regular study routine).

I think my question is... why apply now if you're not ready? There is no Top 50 school with a GMAT average that low. I've read dozens of success stories of foreign applicants who barely speak English boosting their verbal scores from the teens to 35+. If you could pull off a Q45 V35, you're looking at around a 660 GMAT, which would definitely put you in the running at your targeted range (and probably some Top 20 schools that are more GMAT friendly). If you boost it to 700+, I have seen cases of military applicants getting into Top 10 schools with your GPA (or huge scholarships to schools in your range).
Is your timeline tied to your contract date? If so, my recommendation would be to do some serious networking to get a decent civilian gig for a year with 40-50 hour weeks to give you more study time. I bet if you heard some of the stories of the dudes on this thread you'd be surprised at how hard we've worked at this. I'm sure the majority of us totally put our lives on hold this year, especially the married applicants. I studied 300 hours for the GMAT while working 80+ hour weeks as one example. It's doable man. My recommendation would be to save your application money and not apply with your current stats. Just look at the ROI numbers sometime - you're better off holding off in order to apply to a better school. Feel free to PM me anytime - all of us want to see you succeed.
