GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

krishnasty, I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. Looking at your profile, the other area that might be a problem in addition to a low GMAT is the length of your WE. I'm not sure what your reasons for wanting to complete an MBA by 2013 are, but if by chance you're able to wait another year (get more WE, study for the GMAT - this forum is a fantastic resource), I think that would do a world of good to your application. Additionally, if you happen to be a male from an oversubscribed demographic, you're better off applying early in the process anyway (R1 or R2).

krishnasty, If I were in this situation, I'd give another shot at GMAT and apply for next session. I can sacrifice one year for MBA from top 10 business school and for 25 years of great career. @ariel has already mentioned same thing, and I'm just trying to re-emphasize it.
