Forgot something, had an interview with a top Canadian school, and I keep getting emails from them telling me to apply even though my Gmat score is bellow their lower average.
Is this a normal behavior for MBA schools??? or does it signify something?

macaman,
The emails from the top Canadian school signfify interest so follow up with them if you are so inclined. You have an unusual background and what appears to be strong professional experience but unless you can score near a 700 on the GMAT your odds at INSEAD, LBS, and Haas are small. For Rotman and Ivey a 650-660 may be good enough. Your weak community record will hurt you somewhat at top U.S. schools.
Good luck,
