求助！GMAT 670， TOEFl 89，向各位请教！

Hello there, and thanks for dropping by.
First of all let me say that two years experience is a bit on the low side. If you want to have good chances, then you really need at least one more year experience (two would be even better). Which is good, because for an MBA your TOEFL score is very low. If you want to get into one of the top 20 schools, you will need a 105+, and even Tier 2 schools will likely require more than an 89. I'm guessing also that in your GMAT you probably did much better on the Quant section. So the good news is that with one more year, if you work hard on the TOEFL, the English improvement you will gain will probably help you a LOT when it comes to retaking the GMAT, which I would suggest you do, even if a 670 is a very good score. Since I think you should wait one more year anyhow, you have the time, and I always suggest applying to the best school possible with the best score possible.

Let me know your thoughts,

Thank you Jon. That's very nice suggetion. I'd seriouly consider work one or two more years.
And I'll definitely work hard on my Toefl, and probably retake GMAT.
The thing is that I'm thinking about change a career, I wondering maybe MBA would be somehow helpful.  But seems like it's not the good time for MBA.
So how about taking a master? after one year retaking Toefl?

Again, Thank you very much.

Are you going to apply for MBA in HRM or master in HRM?

我2013年2月份才提交全了一个商排50多名的一个的学校的资料。MBA，其某个单项排名全美第一。当时G是640分。 ...

Congrats! My GMAT is 680, and my T is 99. I applied for the Top40 MBA program, and is on the waitlist. Did you apply for the MBA?

Well, my first thought is that you may be rushing things a bit. You seem to have a good career, and a 670 is a good solid GMAT score. However, your TOEFL is lower than it should be (at least 6 points higher would be nice, and 12 if you can do it). Also, with 2 years of work experience you are on the low side of the average for business school (most B-school candidates have 4-5 years). So if you are doing interesting things in your job, I would suggest you stick with it for one more year, and use your time to retake the TOEFL (and maybe the GMAT if you think you can score higher).

Hope this helps!!!
