Thank you very much for the advices.
So I took the GMAT for a second time... and it went bad. Got a 600 (Q44, V29)
. I did a 640 (Q38, V40) in a practice exam from official GMAT Prep just a week before. I just seem to always get a way lower verbal score in the real thing...
So now I have 2 options:
1- Go ahead with admission process now, with the 600 score, and hope for the best...
2- Rewrite the GMAT (3rd time) and hope to get 650 (I don't think that realisticly, after scoring 590, and 600, that I can aim for 700...), and try to get admitted in a late round...
I am leaning towards option 1. Please tell me if my plan is realistic or not.
- Apply to HEC Paris as a Stretch school (since I am a French Canadian, and I have experience in France through a canadian owned company)
- Apply to Cass, Warwick and Edinburgh as realistic schools (eventhough I read today that Warwick demands a minimum GMAT of 650, which appears surprising when compared to WBS average GMAT shown in many different rankings)
Should I even bother applying to Imperial since I read that they tend to focus on GPA more than any other school, and should I even bother applying to Oxford or Cambridge or is it simply a great waste of money and time? I sent my CV to the Cass admission advisor and got back a favourable answer, that's finaly a good news!
If I would get a 650 and apply to a late round (late say february or so), would I realy get a better chance of getting in Oxridge, LBS or HEC?
What are your thoughts? Please advice! Thank you again very much!
