Hi there,

Have you taken the GMAT yet?? That will help you determine roughly what tier of school you should have better admissions chances at. Additionally, schools will want to know what key experiences you've had during your work experience, especially in leadership, teamwork, people and project management.... and just generally making an impact with your work. And they will want to see that you have a fairly clear post-MBA plan in mind and know how you'll use this degree. With a strong GMAT and compelling essays I wouldn't rule out the schools on your list.

Good luck with your decisions!

i have given gmat thrice. my scores are 540, 620(Q44/V31),600(Q48/V23). Do i still need to give gmat one more time or schools will consider my three attempts in a positive way.

Hi there,
With 620 as your highest score, most of the schools you mentioned will be pretty difficult to get into! Not impossible but many of them have average GMAT scores of 680-699. The number of 620 GMAT applicants they accept will likely be small so you'd have to be extremely outstanding compared to all of your peers. How about some schools with an average score of 640-660, or considering one more attempt if you that is an option? Have a look at the US News & World Report ranking for a full list and/or school profiles of Businessweek.com for more ideas and info on average scores. Good luck!
