Hi
I gave GMAT today and was highly disappointed with my score. I got 560- 47 Percentile; Q 41- 48 Percentile; V27- 45 Percentile. I am not sure what the scores tell me. Though I am pretty much aware that my scores are low. Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the scores? Am I really dumb to give gmat another shot?

Hey.. Thanks for the reply. I have 3 years of work ex in india. I was aiming ISB at first because i thought i can easily get a 700. But now things are different. I am going to give it another shot, may be after couple of months.
Let me give a brief intro. I am a software developer - which every other indian is - having 3 years of work ex. Mostly i am interested in operations management. I like improving the processes with which things work and i have no problems in coming back to IT after my MBA. I dont have much of an idea about the schools that will be good for me. Any suggestions?
Hi chandeep01,
Going by the information that you have listed, a 560 might not be enough to get you an admission into ISB as you are from the IT pool. The average from the IT pool is a lot higher for ISB.
You can certainly improve your score with proper preparation and practice.
However, the Round 2 deadline for ISB is 15th of January and that leaves us with around 2.5 months.
You certainly can improve your score in this period.
I would recommend you to opt for a preparatory course if you have not already done so. Most of the companies including ours offer a free trial of the course. You can opt for a course and see if it fits your needs and the style of studies.
Regarding the school selection, ISB is a common choice for the Indian students. For the other schools:
1. Do you want to go for a 1 year MBA or a 2 year MBA is fine too?
2, Which geographical location are you targeting for your studies?
3. Which geographical locations are your targeting to work post your MBA?
An answer to these will help us in suggesting you schools in a better way.
