Hi! What schools would be a safe bet to apply to at GMAT score 635?
Took another attempt - Exhausted of writing the exam, performed slowly on quant today, so had to guess last 3 -4 questions which dropped my second attempt score further to 615. In both exams scored 86% on DI and even though I thought quant/verbal were stronger, I scored around 70% in verbal both times and dropped 81% to 66% in quant today. Fault - Focused more on verbal than quant, and practiced around 250 OG Questions but still ended up scoring the same, though I felt verbal was going decent during the exam.
Though, I do think I have a shot at a better score, but I feel I'm done for this year.
Would you say applying to HSW will be too unrealistic for this year? How are re-applicants treated for these schools, if want to keep an option for applying next year open?
What schools would you suggest are doable at this score, I have a more than okayish profile in my opinion for these business schools?

Hello Shuks14,
Choice of schools depends on various factors including your years of experience, background, and goals.
Irrespective of the above, it is not advisable to apply to HSW with a 635; just wait it out, improve your score, and apply next year (if HSW is what your targetting). There is, practically, no point in becoming a reapplicant.
Good luck!

Hi Shuks14 , I hope you are doing well!
With a GMAT score of 635, targeting schools like HSW (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton) is unrealistic this year, as their average scores are significantly higher. Your performance on the exam suggests that you might improve with a strategic retake focused on quant, but if you're set on applying now, aim for schools with average GMAT ranges closer to your score. But yes, it’s not just dependent on your GMAT score, everything has to be represented in a very good way showcasing an impactful story with crystal clear post-mba goals that everything should fit well with the school's values. You might consider programs like IE, SDA, ESMT, or U.S. schools like Kelley, Owen, or Boston University.
Reapplicants are generally treated fairly, but you'll need to show improvement in areas like GMAT, work experience, or leadership if you reapply to top-tier schools next year. We think you should apply next year with a stronger GMAT and refined application.
We would like to know more about your profile like work exp., challenges, impact creation, awards, extracurriculars, international exp., post-mba goals and more, discussing more details, will help us identify if you can pull out good stories from your experience.
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a 1:1 call with you to discuss your profile in detail and shortlist schools for you. Please feel free to schedule a profile evaluation call according to your convenience.
