GMAT 690 - V40 M45

[shefaligmat]

Hi,

I have appeared for GMAT last week and scored 690.
How good is this score? Can I still aim for one of top 15 schools?
I am not considering retaking the exam.
I am from IT background with 3 years of exp.

I don’t have much idea about what all schools I can apply.
Please give some opinion about my score and suggest some good schools.

Thanks!!

That is, indeed, a good score; it is high enough for your application to be considered at any school, though the GMAT score will not get you accepted (the GMAT score never gets you accepted, no matter how high it is - other factors are more important).

There are hundreds of schools and programs; part of what constitutes a "good" school is what is good for you. Where do you live? Where do you want to go to school? What are your goals - what do you want to do afterward? Do you want to have a particular concentration or do you want a general MBA? Do you want to go full-time or part-time? How much are you willing to spend? Etc. There are many factors that go into this decision process. It's a good idea to do some research yourself first to try to identify some programs that look interesting to you. Once you've identified some, you can ask the people in the Admissions Consulting folder what they think your chances are based upon your experience and profile.

(Note: this folder is actually for questions about the GMAT test itself; if you have other questions about admissions, please post them in the Ask An Admissions Consultant folder.)
