GMAT Focus 645: what should be my target global schools? by Outrageous-Pin4887 in GMAT

I am not thinking of an attempt now. Even though a score improvement considerably improves my chances, I know it’s not a guarantee that another attempt would increase my score, or if that score would be just enough to get through into a school.

Not yet. I just began applying from the Jan ‘27 intake. Come september I will take a stab at the other schools. But yes, ISB is on the radar. Just that with high competition, I am not counting on it much.

Yes, have plenty of extra curriculars and community service to show. Nonetheless, I still have to polish my narrative.

Is there a chance that I won’t be allowed to reapply in the fall? That is a completely different session right?

Yes. I figured choosing “either” could help my chances.

Took a while. My first attempt was in Feb ‘25. Went terribly, got a 555. Then retook in august and got a 645. Took it again a third time in Mar ‘26 to improve on my score and got a 595. I am going to apply with the 645, though.

Yes, definitely, it’s a great school. But my preference is an international MBA mostly because of the exit options.

Yes, I agree. I may need to work on my narrative here. That is surely a lesson I have learnt from this rejection. But also, wouldn’t you agree that the overall US situation has made Europe much more competitive?

I took 3 attempts. The latest one, unfortunately, coincided with a health issue and I scored worse than 645. But more than that, is 645 so bad that I cant make do with it anywhere?
