Hi Linda:

I first attempted the GMAT in may, got a dissapoiting 540,

after taking some rest, I retook it yesterday, and got a 650 with Q47 and V34 total: 84%

do you think I have chances for UCLA? (first choice)

or Berkley?
My background and experience is rather different.

I would also consider Insead, in France,
please let me know what is your opinion, thanks!

Hi Linda, any opinion about my situation?

is a GMAT of 650 going to be enough for TOP 10 schools?

thanks!

Kevin,

Your distinctive background may keep you competitive even with a 650, but to increase your chances, I think you shoudl try to bump it up. If you don't think you can do so, then apply with the existing score.

Good luck!
