Hi All

I have a GMAT 660 and a background in engineering, with 2.5 years work experience in US. I am aiming for fall 2017. I wanted to know which schools will be good for me, and also within reach for admission with my GMAT score. I wanted to apply to top 10 but I don't think I stand a chance with mu current score. Currently I have narrowed down the following schools:

1) Rochester(Simon)
2) Penn State(Smeal)
3) Notre Dame(Mendoza)
4) Rutgers

Which of these schools is best for consulting , and marketing jobs? If there are any other universities I should look at please reply with your suggestions. I am looking for guidance and appreciate the feedback.

Hi at1988,

I wish the school selection process were this easy. it is a time consuming process and needs involvement from your end.
You need to take into account the following factors before applying:

1. Goal (I think you have this chalked out)
2. Geography
3. Culture of the School

It would be better if you ask your query here:

Hi guys,

I just took the test yesterday, June 16, 2017. I was aiming for 700 but ended up with a 660 with 48Q 34V 7IR. My question is, shouldn't those splits give me 670 or 680? I can't seem to see what is wrong here, provided I took the test the same year with OP.

Hi nlnvasnani,

It is not uncommon to get a different score on the same splits. There are many cases where people get the exact same sectional split but a different overall score.
There are a lot of factors that come into play while determining your final score.

Which schools are you targeting?

Yeah probably. I think my verbal pulled me down from getting 700. Anyway I just got my official score report with AWA 6, so that's a relief.

Can you enumerate some examples of other factors that make the total score different?

I'm targeting NUS Business School.
