Gmat 660 (Q 49 V 31) with IR score 2 [#permalink] New post   16 Oct 2015, 03:37
Hi,

This was my first attempt for GMAT and have scored 660. Unfortunately, i screwed up my IR, scoring just 2.
I want to apply this year only and I am planning for ISB/NUS.
Is it possible for me to take admission with this score or should i take the GMAT again?

Dear TarunKalpana,
I'm happy to respond. :-) My friend, perhaps you don't appreciate my profession. I am a GMAT expert, which means I can tell you a great deal about how to study for the GMAT, how to approach various questions, etc. I am not an admission consultant. I don't even know what ISB/NUS is. I am sorry that I can help you with your question.

If you decide to study for a retake for the GMAT, I would suggest reading these:

Hi Tarun,

I am in the same boat.

What have you decided? Are you going to give another shot at GMAT or are you going ahead with the applications?

I have scored 20 points lower than you and was looking at Emory, Marshall school of business, Mendoza college of business and NUS.

I have close to 9 years of experience in IT field. Not sure, how this would translate.

Also one more damaging part to my application is that I screwed up in IR. I scored 1, but scored a 5.5 on AWA.
On consulting with many, I was asked by many to reattempt the GMAT given the low score in GMAT itself plus the IR score.

Hey Tarun,
For ISB it's not gonna be high enough... for NUS.. maybe. But that'll depend on the rest of your profile.

Best,

Tarun,

I recommend retaking the GMAT and getting some individual tutoring. While you would have a chance at NUS, the chance is much better with a higher score. Contact me if you are interested in private tutoring. Good luck!

Vijay,
Those programs are stretches for you based on what I see. Of course I would want to know more about your specific role, leadership experiences, progression at work, extra-curriculars and GPA as well.

That said, I recommend you retake the GMAT before applying. Reach out if you want to discuss study strategies or tutoring options. Scott@personalmbacoach.com

Good luck!

Hi Tarun,

I agree with the above comments here. Since you are targeting ISB and NUS, i would definitely recommend you to retake your GMAT and apply with an improved GMAT Score and IR. It will certainly improve your chances of getting admitted to these B-Schools and other top B-Schools as well.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
