Hi Goalisb,
I know GMAT is on the lower end of the spectrum, but would that not allow me to compete for this 1st Batch of PGP YL program?
Love to know your opinion on this!

Hi,

Definitely you can apply, every profile or most profiles may have a weak area, but there are strong areas as well. No score is anyways a guarantee of getting in or getting a call. So focus on your strengths, go ahead and apply.

All the best!

Hello ItsPA1,

Hope this finds you well.

While there is a lot that is working for you, profile-wise, the GMAT score may prove to be a dampener; however, with no time remaining, you may give this as shot.
