Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. I’m not sure that the GMAT was your problem. My guess is that you had another issue in your application. Of course, if you think that you can improve your score to a 720 that will certainly help, but it is no guarantee of admission. It may be that your essays did not convey your strengths in the best way or perhaps you didn’t select the experiences that showcased your leadership and accomplishments. Of course, I cannot know this for sure unless I read your application. We do offer ding reviews. If that is something that you are seriously considering, you can sign up for a free consultation www.mbamission.com/consult.php.
