I got over with "G" yesterday and the score distribution is

Q: 48........%tile 86

V: 34........%tile 71

Total: 660........%tile 86.

I believe that I am out of the contention for the top schools, but could someone advice which schools can accept the score of 660.

Target shall be Asian and American schools.

Congrats.

depending upon your other aspests of applications, you are a strong candidate for any B-school including Wharton, UVA, Tuck etc. i know some people with below 650 are in Wharton.

Hi,
thanks!
But do you know.....
Which are the "strong" other aspects which can compensate the low 660 in GMAT?
BUt reading through the websites regarding these schools the average score seems to be high!

To get accepted to a top program with a gmat score at the bottom range of their 80% your profile has to be very strong and unique. Being a woman and/or from an underrepresented minority (not asian or indian) also would help a lot. By strong and unique, you need something like silver star winner in Iraq, saved starving children from aids in africa, are senior management at a large company that your family doesn't own (and you aren't 40), George Bush's assistant (he got into HBS without a college degree), a recommendation from the largest endower of a program who happens to be your dad...basically something that shows great leadership or succcess or very high connection and is not a common group applying, such as Indian IT or White IB.

Hi LM,

Do not be discouraged. 660 is not a poor score. You are still in the top 15% of all GMAT takers. There are several good universities who would still jump on an opportunity to have you on board. If however you are intent on the ultra elites, and don't have many differentiating factors, you might want to consider retaking the GMAT.

Otherwise there are several top notch schools in Asia Pacific that would be wide open and welcome you with open arms. AGSM, for instance, is the top Australian MBA and requires a GMAT of about 640. Costs 52 grand AUD (which is literally half compared to the American universities).

Good luck.

congrats man, that is a great score! I think is is important to have a good score in Quantitative and you do.

now I know somebody (male, 30 yrs, australian, IT) with a GMAT score of 600. wharton told him to retake GMAT to get a Q score (not verbal score!!) in the 80th percentile. you should apply and see what happens!

Cheers
