Congratulations for surviving a GMAT. 640 is a good score. It is true that big consuting and investment banking firms consider GMAT score when hiring MBA students (they are the only industries that do). From what I heard, they aim for around 700.
That said, I am under the impression that if a student is not a native English speaker and did very, very well in the quantitative section, that might be considered too. If you want to, you could retake the GMAT. Admissions only consider you best score so even if it you do not get a better score, it does not matter. Another option is waiting to be in the program and making sure that these are the industries you are targeting. If so, you could retake the GMAT at that point

ivey - change from IT to consulting
i Had written an email to ivey school student ambassadors asking if change of industry is possible. Below is the response
"Ivey can for sure help you move towards the consuting industry. In fact, very few students who go into the consulting industry following their MBA actually come from a consulting background. A lot of them are from an engineering or IT background, to name a few.
That said, consultancy firms recruit on campus and hold information sessions so you would definitely have the chance to explore the option."
In another post of mine of Ivey school, an ivey alumni said that getting a job with low GMAT score is tough..So i am confused now. I have sent an email to student ambassador to confirm if low score hampers job chances
