Thanks for posting! Responding to your questions:

Should I use my gmat score or gre score for application ?

A: Tough call. The GRE is probably better, but why not submit both? The schools will "count" the higher of the two based on their scale/conversion for apples-to-apples comparisons.

What colleges can I apply to? can I apply for the top 10 MBA colleges?

A: I need to know more about your background beyond what you have provided to respond to this question. That being said, with these GMAT/GRE scores you are unlikely to get considered for Top 10 MBA programs.

Thanks for the reply. Please let me know what more details do you need?

So should I avoid applying for top 10 colleges? which colleges should I target?

I am planning to apply for part-time / weekend MBA programs, even for these programs, my GRE score is not enough?

Do you advise me to retake GRE ?

Q: Please let me know what more details do you need?

A: Any types of accomplishments both professionally and extracurricular. Any awards. Look at other posts to get an idea for the type of information that is useful to know. Bear in mind this is all high-level. A proper consultation is needed to do a more accurate assessment.

Q: So should I avoid applying for top 10 colleges? which colleges should I target?

A: Yes, avoid Top 10. Target schools in the 15-30 range.

I am planning to apply for part-time / weekend MBA programs, even for these programs, my GRE score is not enough?

Q: As you have alluded, the testing threshold is not as high for the part-time/weekend MBA programs. Still, given you demographic cohort you might be better off getting closer to that 700 figure.

A: Do you advise me to retake GRE ?

Yes, or the GMAT. Up to you which you think is best. I don't see much downside to retaking the exam as most schools will accept your highest grade. You have already banked the 322 adn 670.

I am a green card holder, so will I be considered an international applicant or a local applicant?

Admissionado · Answer

skgmat21 :

Great! Thanks for providing the additional details.

Now that I know you're looking at part-time MBA programs, if you can bump up your verbal 3 or so points that would be great. The quant could use an extra point or two (only because of your competitive demographic) but that's not as critical.

I am not sure about green card status implications. You should contact the schools directly about that matter.

Good luck,
Admissionado
