Hi,

I have taken GMAT in January'10 scored 620(Q48,V28), I know not a good enough score to get the scholarship and a very good college. But I am ready to take Tier 2 colleges and currently I am looking for Manchester Business School, Lancaster, Nanyang (NTU) and National University of Singapore (Actually this were the colleges that I filled up during my exam). Seeing my score I am ready to go around the globe but my only main concern is I want good college if not best. I am thinking of retake but still want to have opinion from you guys.
