Clarifying question -- where was your undergrad, and what was your GPA?
Thanks.

Since your GMAT score is well below (less than 30) the average of all the schools, unless you have an exceptional application your chance of gaining an admission is lower.
B school Avg GMAT (Source: Business week)
University of Washington 682
University of Southern California 695
University of California San Diego 678
University of California Irvine 668

Good luck.

So, I agree w/ the earlier responder. It's about the big picture of course, but your GMAT is below average for these schools. Is there anything else in your application that makes you stand out from others with similar backgrounds (and maybe higher GMAT/GPAs.) Might want to consider retake of GMAT if these are your target schools -- plus ensure you have a differentiated application.
