poor GMAT score-----SOS!!!!!!!

Hi Guys: I am a new comer here. I need you guys input on whether I should retake my GMAT. I only got an 680 this May. I can't blame anyone cause I did not work hard enough.And even fail to took a week off to completed those KAplan etc. But now I become reluctant to rewrite it. Looking at those GMAT material is really killing me. So I decided to focus on my application and started gathering as much as possible information. But the bitter thing for me to chew is that the more I explore BBS such as BW or gter, the more I find my score might seriously hinder me from getting into top 20 school. I have been struggling these days and I have been bumped the up-down yo yo ball feeling. I need insightful inputs from you guys, I am lost . Pls pls pls help

If possible, try to get a better score in Gmat test if you really want to get into top20 b-schools.. However, just like brother Lewis said, score is not the most important thing for your application.

Thanks Tons. Your words is really encouraging. You guys have just made my day. Then I will have a smile all day What I am thinking is that I might work on the essay and study the GMAT at the same time. in the worse case that I fail to rewrite, I will just apply with my current score. Just wondering if you know person get in top 20 school with a score simliar to mine. Thanks a mil.

Of course there are lots of guys with <700 get into top-10 schools. Remember, GMAT is just one piece of your material. True, better score means more chance, but won't guarantee you.

extremly recommend: retake the test. Yes. many people get in top 20( i would like to say not top 10) with such scores. However it woundn't hurt you if you retake gmat. It will drastically boost your odds. And with 680, you chance to get into top 10 is really really slim. While kept arguing my GPA, work experience and balabalabala.., the schools I applied all offered me with the admissions, even scholarship, after I faxed them my new score. They all made this decision in ONE day! Before they receive the offical report.

I am not sure where you are, you do have decent english skills. if you are in USA, I would say you have a decent chance to apply for a few top20 schools with some good WE. if you are China, hehe, you may outperform most of your competitors at interviews. So I would say you do have a chance to go with your 680GMAT but, some Fei Hua: Better GMAT will only help

No actually I am living in Shanghai. I am just lucky enough to get loads of chances to talk to westerner, as besides my onw job, I am working freelance for a European Business-school for five years. Well that is another part of my life. Where do u live? if you do not mind my asking Anyway, I have decided to rewrite.Painful indeed!!!

After being creeping in the dark of application, i finally see some tiwilight. It just brings me more motivations and engergies to march on. Will have to work really hard to craft really great essay. Anyway, like what Deng xiao ping has said, 一手抓GMAT,一手抓essay interview", 两手都要抓 LOL。 Sorry that I still have to bombard you with my long list of questions.At this stage I need baddly some advices from a veteran like you.

Thanks a lot!
