thanks a lot OasisGC for the reply.

Yes what your saying is actually true.....Wanted to pick your brain on one more thing. seeing my score there is scope of improvement in both Quat and Verbal . I am actually on a look out for Learning courses and wanted your suggestion on it which one are better. Also for how many days should i wait before retaking the exam?

Regards,
Ankit

Hello,

You can improve a lot verbal - 31 in verbal must be 58/59 percentile only (approximation), so you should focus more on your verbal.

For courses, it depends on what kind of learning do you enjoy

1) You may choose e-gmat, good part with e-gmat is that they offer money back gurantee, so if you can not increase your verbal by 4, you can claim money back :)
2) If you think you wanna invest more - you can check the advanced gmat workshops of mgmat and kaplan.

Ideally take two weeks break, restart with bang and i am sure you will be through.

For any doubts, please come back to us

Good luck

thanks again OasisGC .

One more thing which i wanted to ask is if you are aware of deadlines for submitting the applications for round 1 in the colleges i mentioned above. As i would also take that into consideration while planning my GMAT retake.

Hello,

I am sorry that I do not have concrete deadlines on my records for these schools.

I worked with someone for HKUST - 2012 intake, so the process at HKUST ideally started from Sep - Oct.(Please double check though)

For SMU, since I am working on an application for SMU, I know that SMU's second deadline for 2013 intake is in the month of July 2012.(Please double check though)

I would however suggest you to get in touch with the concerned schools and confirm the deadlines from them.

Hope this helps
