Preparations for thembatour

The mbatour will be the final place before i make up my mind on what next.640 with a good profile is not a bad score as per some people. But one student from Ivy business school told me that finding a job with a low score might be difficult. i also heard that for campus of some schools GMAT cutoff is set.

Some people who join 2 year schools take GMAT again to improve the chances. After hearing this i have kind of dropped my plan's of applying to one year programs of IIM(bangalore and lucknow)

One of my friend shared with me the detail of guy who succeeded with a 640 score.check the 640 achievers blog "http://hariformba.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-mba-application-journey-from-gmat.html"

now back to my preparations for the mba tour. I have been reading a lot on what to and what not to ask. The below resources are quite helpful for giving that knowledge
