Hi Shailendra,

Thanks for writing in. Schools traditionally only look at your highest GMAT score, so you can retake the test if you wish without worrying about negative repercussions.

From your list, a 660 will likely be a competitive score at Kelley and Smith, and should also be in the mix at Chapel Hill. Selecting the right school to apply to is about more than just picking one that fits your GMAT score; I suggest reading up on other schools that fit your post-MBA interests and seeing where you fit competitively. The Web is full of plenty of resources for this, including the MBA Mission Insider Guides. This tactic should help you identify relevant international schools as well.

Best of luck with your applications,
