Key will be to fit in, show fit for the programs you apply. Your GMAT is on the lower end of the range for some of your target programs, have you considered a retake? Do you have any geographic preference, post MBA? (0)

anon26210 Likes Earned: 0 I have already taken the GMAT 3 times and I feel like 650 is the best I can do at this time. I do want to focus on developing a great story at this time and in doing so, hopefully I can gain multiple acceptances in my list of 11. I would prefer working in a larger city (Los Angeles, New York, London), but I can be flexible when it comes to this. Thank you for responding, Alex! (0)
