Hi
I took my GMAT on 6th sept and scored an unexpected 630 (was expecting more)!!
Q 50, V 25
Profile:
-3 yrs experience till date. (will be 4yrs when joining MBA in 2013)
-Worked with firms like Accenture (2yrs), Deloitte (6months), Infosys (since 6months till present)
-Passed B.Tech. from average college in India with GPA 8.2/10
-Primary target: US Schools, Full time MBA (starting 2013)
-Want to move into finance sector (MBA in finance) and will be applying for CFA Level 1 once done with MBA processes.
Kindly answer my below queries:
1. Should I retake GMAT?
2. Are there any schools I can still apply to and hope for acceptance (along with RA/TA/Fellowship)?
3. My first thought after getting the score - retake somewhere Oct end and apply for R2....Makes sense? (is it still possible of getting RA/TA/Fellowship)?
4. I am not afraid of second attempt but if I have chances of getting into a decent school along with financial support (again RA/TA/Fellowship), I don't mind. Comments?
Welcome all thoughts/comments/advise!!
Peace

Dear Aditya,
From my experience, R2 is not very different from R1 in terms of your chances of admissions. 9 year back I had applied in R2 and had received full fellowship from 2 schools. Moreover, many of our customers who applied in R2 and even R3 have received fellowships. However, all of them had scores above 700. Hence, I would recommend that you take the GMAT.
Now with a 630 you may get admission in some schools but your chances of a scholarship are very slim.
Check out our course if you do decide to take the exam again. We focus just on Verbal and have a very generous free trial.

Rajat Sadana

Hey Rajat
Thanks alot for the quick response....this totally makes sense.
I went through the link...i think i ll go with it.
Also had a talk with couple of friends .....going for second attempt
But again, i always like it safe.....
So can you please list a few schools in which i can apply with 630 (R1) and hope for fellowship?
By the time the decision will be released....i would have taken second attempt and then i could evaluate the situation (apply with new score if i get reject from the school(s) you suggest).
