Hi,
I have given GMAT twice and got below scores-
1st Attempt- 580 ( Q 44, V 28 )
2nd Attempt - 610 ( Q 45, V 29 )

Female 32 years old.

I have completed my bachelors in mechanical engineering and currently working as AVP- Supply chain and has a total experience of 9 years.
My career growth has been phenomenal with multiple promotions to get to this position, however i want to pursue my MBA from a good college.

I am thinking about retaking GMAT since i get good score in mocks ( 660, 680, 710 ), however in exams i just missed it. Any suggestion on what should i do and which colleges can i apply with this score if there isn't any improvement ?

My dream college would be Oxford or Cambridge.

If you really want to attend Oxford or Cambridge, you are going to have to keep pushing on the GMAT. You can take the exam at least a couple of more times. After that, I would cut your losses.

Depending on your available time and resources, I would look at a tutor or a class to help get you significantly closer to that 700 mark.

There are not too many good schools that don't require the GMAT. It might be too late but have you considered the GRE? Verbal seems to be your issue, so I'm guessing that might not help.

Given your age, what about an Executive or Part-time MBA? That might be a better and path of less resistance.

Let us know how we can help.
