I actually took the GMAT 3 times and this was my best score, so I decided to focus my efforts on the essays on other aspects of the application. Surprised to hear about the GMAT. I got some application fee waivers from top 20 MBA programs stating that my GMAT score placed me among the top performers in my demographic group. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 For T20, I imagine you can be very competitive. Because you plan to return to your company, that might be the right path for you. The programs you have listed are M7, down to top 16, where it will be more competitive for admissions. That said, you still may well be competitive, they'll all admit some with similar GMAT scores.
