• Making the media brief for ~Pankhudi.

My verbal score in the GMAT is less but my English is not at all bad considering I have published many articles in the newspaper, compered in events and won technical paper presentation competitions. I just dont know what went wrong during the verbal section of the GMAT.
I am planning to start shortlisting universities in the US soon. I would like to know how competitive my application looks and my chances of getting into a good b-school.
Please advise me on the same. Thanks a lot for your patience and time.
Regards,
Abhishek Shenoy

Abhishek,
Yourverbal GMAT score is a major hurdle at most top MBA programs. If you feel you should have earned a higher score or that your current score does not reflect your abilities in English, I strongly urge to to retake the GMAT. After doing so, we can short-list schools. The other elements of your profile are strong.
Best,
Linda
