Also Read this: http://www.totalgadha.com/gmat/2009/01/i-dont-have-a-perfect-800-gmat-score/ Are there any success stories of students with low GMAT score?Indeed , there are. " src="http://www.totalgadha.com/gmat/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"/> I have picked them up from Business Week. Read them and get motivated to work on your application rather than whining about not scoring the perfect 800 score. I scored in the mid to high 600s and have been accepted to 3 top ten schools, am still waiting back on a few others I applied to but I’m very hopefull. My warning with a low gmat score is Columbia and Wharton are GMAT whores and will drop you if the only thing that isn’t perfect is your gmat score….West Coaster If by low you mean not breaking the 700 barrier, I am definitely in that boat but what I have been told again and again is that its not ONLY about the numbers so please dont worry, as long as ur application is packaged well you’ll be fine. I got into Sloan and also interviewed with 2 other top 5 schools and am waiting on their response now. So dont think its make or break and just make everything else that you can control in your application as good as you can. Hope this helps.…TSA 79 I do have bit of good news for us low GMAT hopefuls… 630 and i just received a wharton interview invite! not completely confident yet though - with wharton’s high interview percentage number (~56%), this only ups my chances from 1 in 5 to 1 in 3…am741 600 GMAT and 3.9 undergrad GPA. Got into HBS. Accepted at NYU. Dinged by three other schools. ..watsupdoc 680 here, under 3.0 GPA Columbia - in Michigan - RD 2 Duke - RD 2 NYU - RD 2 Repeat after me - “Focus on your story”…IWantRoss I would also categorize myself under the “bad standardized test taker” category. After dismal scores of 580 twice by self-study, I broke down and took a class. My third attempt with my class training gained me a whopping 20 points, 600 (43Q, 30V). I was pretty bummed…however I picked myself up and took the test again 2 weeks later and scored a 670 (42Q,40V). So far I am in at Georgetown and USC, waitlisted at NYU and interviewed at Yale…so trust me, there is hope!!! …uclandru Here you go. I got a 650 (44 Q 35 V), just got into Columbia, and interviewing at Wharton next week. 5yrs work experience in the military, 27 years old male from Jersey. I thought I would be out of it with my GMAT score going in, but so far so good. Keep hope alive….biggtonn
