Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
I gave my first exam two years back and scored a 580 ( V30 Q41). I gave my second gmat today and got 590 ( V29 Q42).
I am a Nepalese citizen, Male, 23 years old.I have a 2 years work experience in an international ecommerce company as the Business Development Manager and CGPA: 3.0.
I am targeting:
Univeristy of Massachusetts (Isenberg)
University of Iowa
Univeristy of Wisconsin
Can anyone help me figure out whether I can get into aforementioned schools with my current profile or if I should take the GMAT again.

work experience and your GPA is not sufficient information. With that said, I don't think you should be going into this process without a 650+ GMAT for those schools.
If your GMAT is not within the median of the 80% range for a school then you really should be applying to that school honestly. This requirement is necessary but not sufficient.
The average for Iowa is like 670 and the minimum average for 80% starts at 610. But the person with the 610 GMAT is bringing a great deal to the class in many other ways.
Know that if the average is 670, if you are come from an over-represented group, it needs to be higher than that.
I would not try to apply that school without meeting that minimum, especially given that your work experiences half of what they have as an average.
Look at the profiles for each of the schools and if you match that then great, but if you don't there's probably no logical reason to think youre the exception and not the rule.
Think about how you have worked at the GMAT number so far and mix it up. Try something else. Get a tutor, join a study group, do a different program, get help. DELEGATE. don't just "try harder" by yourself.
The effort that you invest in that score is going to yield high dividends in terms of the school you get into.
Be as determined with this as you would be starting a business because in many ways you are.

Hi todi123,
Based on the information that you've provided about your two Official Scores and the what you've stated here...
stuck-on-620-need-help-advice-222284.html#p1712161
It certainly looks like you're 'stuck' at this particular scoring level. GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your Official Scores and CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same way each time (+- a few points). You do certain things consistently well, but you make the same consistent mistakes. To score at a much higher level, you're going to have to make some significant adjustments to how you handle the Quant and Verbal sections.
You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
