Hi All-
Took GMAT today and got 620 BOOOOOO!!
I was planning to apply round 2 and for lots of reasons couldn't take my test sooner so I only had this one shot (and I had to take in NY when home for the holidays when I live year-round in California because there was no other time!).
I planned to apply to NYU, Columbia and Yale. I still have time for Columbia since they are rolling and I will be able to retake.
I have a white female age 28 with a magazine ad-marketing background and currently work forming marketing partnerships and sponsorships for events hosted by "america's largest dept store". I have very strong community activities and 3.7 gpa from a large NY state school. I plan to pursue non-profit working after getting my MBA.
It was weird- somehow I was 1 minute over the break time but somehow when test started after it alerted me i would be down 1 minute for Quant - it started me down 5 minutes! I didn't want to waste time and call over the proctor so I told them after and they thought I was crazy!! Though they said they would make a note they believed it was "highly unlikely". While 5 minute won't break you, agonizing over it at the beginning of the test!!
Any suggestions on retaking and applying round 3 or should I take my chances and apply YIKES?!

Unless you have a valid reason why your score was much lower than your expectation, you should just lower the bars on the schools that you are applying to.
GMAT isn't the kind of test where you take few times and you will see variance in scores. GMAT score is pretty accurate in measuring your "level." There might be about 30 point standard deviation, but without further prep - you will likely get the same score again.

I completely disagree with this statement. You should go back to the drawing board and look for ways to improve your score. There are several members on this forum who improved significantly.
