Hello everyone,
I passed a GMAT on short notice and scored a 620 (Q38/V37). i did one or 2 prep tests 8 months ago, and didn't study much after that (just a half test that gave me an estimated score of 620-650)
I thought I was good on the quant part and bad on the verbal part (since English is only my third language), but I made the mistake to start with the quantitative and at some point I ended up rushing through the last 6 or 7 questions because I took too much time.
one school in my city request minimum 570 with a ''competitive score of 630'' so I guess it should be okay for it, the other has an average of 650 for accepted applications. But the score I got with the small amount of studying had me wondering.
If I do study seriously, will I be able to get a significantly higher score? Can I realistically aim for a much better school? or should I just sit on it and go to the first mentioned school (which is already in the top 6 in Canada).
Thanks guys for the answers !!

How high can you go? There's only one way to find out 
I would suggest you to go through some debriefs from the following forum and see how much effort is required to improve to higher from 620. It depends on each individual's abilities but atleast you can get a ballpark.

Hi mid17,
You ask a number of really good questions - and the answers will depend completely on what YOU want your MBA to do for you. This will require that you define your broader career goals - then do the necessary research to find the best Degree Programs that will help you to reach those goals.
From what you describe about the minimal nature of your prior studies, you certainly appear to be a relatively strong critical thinker - so with the proper study time and focus, I would suspect that you could score significantly higher than this 620. Assuming that you had a competitive Overall profile, then a higher GMAT Score would give you the opportunity to apply to 'better' Schools. This is all meant to say that there are a number of different ideas that you have to think about.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
