Hey there, I’d love to help you out but without more info it’s gonna be hard. Where do you work? What do you do? How quickly have you advanced? Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements? Do you have notable community service or extra curriculars? Which school did you graduate from? All of these will play important roles in your evaluation. Also, I understand what you say about not wanting to retake the GMAT, but it may not be a good idea.

Okay, actually you have a simple problem with a simple solution. You need to retake the GMAT. If you are scoring 720 in the mocks, it would be really a bad idea to apply with a 600, because you have soooo much more POTENTIAL. Don't let it go to waste. Be patient. Retake the GMAT and go to a better school. It's worth it.

Also, no one gets the best score the first time they take it, and many take the test five times to get their target score,

So persevere, my friend!
Best,

Jon

Hey there,
Well with a 600 GMAT and an Indian Male Tech profile fro a non-IIT school, the MBA programs you can aim for will not be competitive. So once again: better to deal with the frustration now and do the GMAT, than insist and pay lots of money to go to a very low ranked MBA that doesn't place you well.

Best,
JF
