I recently took my GMAT for the first time and got a 640 (Q40, V38). My first instinct was to retake it, i did little better on the practice (660 and a 680). Should I take it again? My GpA is only a 2.5 but I have over 2 years work experiance and expect to get good recommendations.
I don't have a chance at a top 10 or even a top 20 school, but with my stats will have have a shot at a ranked school? If so any suggestions? I'm assuming that going to an unranked school is not worth the effort. Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll give you my opinion or better yet what I have read through out this process. I think your scores fine. In fact I would kill for it. 
But, I would still make sure that it was in range for the schools in which you are applying. You can find this information either on the schoools site or at the businessweek site. What was your undergrad. major? Is your low GPA explained away i.e. death in the family, working while at school and so on. If so you could perhaps explain it away in your essays. Also, have you taken any courses since undergrad.? If not then you could take some courses to help boost your GPA. But, remember you have to ace those courses. I hope this helps. Good luck !!

my undergrad was computer engineering from Purdue. Unfortunately I was not an engineer and since I didnt have a better idea on what I like to do so I stuck it out.
