[rrnambiar02]

Dear All,
I gave gmat last week and ended up getting 650.my gpa is 3.regarding my work ex- worked for 1.5 years while studying and 6 months thereafter.i am an indian by ethnicity, i completed my bachelors in engineering from mumbai university in june 2010.
i am currently on an L2 visa(dependent for an L1A visa holder,MY Husband) residing in florida.i've not been working since jan 2011,as i got married and moved to different countries adjusting to my husband's job transfers.

could mgmat club mentors,members,guests please brief me how to go further from this point. i have a few questions
1.which is the earliest semester i can apply for?
2.do all schools have fall and spring semesters?
3. will i be considered as an international student or out of state student and what are the deadline for the application for each category?
4.which are the universities i can apply with my score?
5.should i consider retaking the gmat to better my score?(as 650 is the lowest i've got in my mock tests.range-640-740 in some 25 tests)
6.how helpful is having a green-card ,as we are expecting to get it in a few months( 6-8 months)?

eagerly awaiting for your reply.I'll be obliged.
thanks in advance.

Hi! There are all different kinds of business school programs - some that run in the traditional fall and spring semesters, but others that are on different schedules or are accelerated. Some programs also run over the summer. Your GMAT score is on the low end of a top US school - it's not impossible to get in with a 650, but it's not easy at all. What could be more challenging for you is your lack of work experience. From what you've written here, you have very limited work experience and haven't worked at all in a year. If you were apply to business school, you would have to show the AdCom why you think you are someone who is employable post-MBA. As for your question about the green card, that is something I am not familiar enough about to give you a proper answer.

Best of luck,
