Showing impact and growth at work is very important, supported by strong recommendations. Activities outside of work will help round out your profile.

Do you think that 655 is your best GMAT score?

abhijit Likes Earned: 0 Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I have already submitted my applications for round 1. I am not currently planning to improve the score, but do you think I should? And what do you think is a good Gmat focus edition score for these colleges? My career focus is product management in technology hence, I will narrow down the programs in round 2 based on that. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 For the very best programs on your target list, I’d think their median would be around 665, 675. If you do apply to programs in Round 2, having a higher score will help. (0)
