Just gave my exam yesterday and got 600.
Not shocked as I was getting scores between 580 and 620 in MGMAT and GMATPrep tests.
Last GMATprep i got 670 Q50 V31.
My Experience of GMAT:
I felt that Quant was really easy and similar to GMATPrep. But verbal was tougher than GMATPrep and MGMAT tests.
SC was tricky, CR was the toughest and RC was medium. Just 1 RC was hard, rest 3 were medium.
Although I am planning to retake it in 2 months and apply in R2, but please let me know which schools are mod, ambi, etc. and other than these schools if there is any school which suits my profile and GMAT score.Below is my profile snapshot:
10th: 78%
12th: 85%
B.Tech. : 69%
5.5 years of work exp in IT company(Ranked as 14th in Fortune 500 companies list), headquartered in US.
Male Indian IT Guy
Not associated with any NGO though i run my own website for health awareness and cancer prevention and promote it through facebook.
I used to run my own website and I am an ethical Hacker and used to run my own website for ethical hacking but its closed now. not sure if it will help me or not.
My Target schools are Schulich, University of Illinois Urbana Champaghne, Carlson, Fordham, UIC and Depaul.
Thanks.

Hi vaggar4,
I really enjoyed your message. The positive thing is that schools will see that you took the GMAT once and scored 670 (your baseline). Although your score decreased from the first time, try to give yourself adequate time in preparing. If the current tools are not helping in increasing your performance, then I strongly suggest altering your approach. Try and use a combination of two approaches if possible. For example, an online prep tool + (recommended) tutor. Continue taking as many practice tests as you can get access too.
In terms of your school options, my first question is – why are you aiming so low with the programs you indicated? Try and aim at the top 20 ranked programs. I understand your concern about the GMAT score, but please do not make the decision that your background is only competitive for the programs you indicated. Let the programs make this decision. Given that you have many other positive attributes to your overall background, please do not underestimate your personal and professional experiences. Given your GMAT score, I would still apply to higher ranked programs (regardless of your next score) and be prepared to shine in the other areas of your application.
As you approach your applications, I would not highlight your experience as a hacker. Even though you mention that it was ethical, that may not be perceived as such by the programs. I would definitely highlight your other professional experiences as part of running your own website. If it is currently in existence, that is even better.
I hope this helps you. If you would like to further speak directly with one of our former admissions committee members or recent admits at any point, please visit https://macapproved.com/free-evaluation/
Best wishes,
Sue

Thanks Sue for your feedback. I think you have mistaken my GMAT Score. 670 was in GMATPrep and not in real GMAT. So i dont think schools will see that. Also, how can a common male IT Indian guy with 600 gmat can compete with 700+ scorer with low profile? I am not sure if the top 20 schools will even invite me for an interview.
