Hi,

I appeared for GMAT twice and got scores as a)640(Q49,V28) b)640(Q50,V28). By the time I reach verbal feel exhausted, hence, screw my verbal score. I am planning to apply at ISB in Round 2. I need your suggestion whether to re-attempt GMAT or to apply with the same score. I have 4 years of work experience in Manufacturing and Program management. :|

Depends on your profile. I am sure you already know your GMAT score is 80-90 points lower than their average (ISB has one of the highest average GMAT scores). But then again, the GMAT score is just one input. If your profile is impressive (academic as well as professional), you could have a fair shot. You need to put in lots of time and effort in your app (which you need to even if you score 790). Ensure that you put forward a strong app which convinces them of your suitability. A lower GMAT score may not be an issue in that case.

Well it depends totally on the profile, but I came across this interesting story worth sharing for all aspirants who think MBA can be done only at 700+ score.

Read this story of Bharath, From 640 on the GMAT to making it to ISB and following his dream. Read Bharat's story.
