This is not a question... it's more like an experience for everyone here that haves questions regarding their score and their impact on applications.

I'll share my personal experience so you get a feel of what the GMAT score played in my application. I haven't received my "you have been admitted" letter but there's a 99% chance of getting it as I was told during my Interview with the Admissions Director that the match between my interests and those of their program was perfect, etc.

I only applied to 1 MBA program, it is the #4 Ranked Public B-School in the US in regards to ROI (source: BusinessWeek). Here are my application factors:

I'm from Guatemala, born and raised. Moved to US 2 years ago.
Current job: Marketing - Brand Manager
GMAT Score - 590 (my 1st score and only one)
GPA - 3.4
Work experience - 5 yrs (3 abroad and 2 in U.S.)
Undergrad degree - Business administration from University abroad.
2 Essays
3 Letters of reccomentation from 2 VPs and President od our Division.
Interview with Admissions Director.

Therefore, you can see my GMAT plays just a compliance role in my application and that is how I saw it. So every other piece of the application was focused on my strengths and abilities and how I was gonna be a valuable asset for their program. From the interview I can see that they were positively impacted by my application and credentials.

I'll let this forum know once I am admitted. Worth to mention, I applied to a Part-time program and I see some people here are from abroad trying to get into a US Business School. However, I think that had I been outside the US and applied to a specific program I would have had the same outcome. There´s a saying in my country that goes like this "the parrot is green wherever it goes" (not sure if it translates well into english but I hope you get the idea).

Thanks for your note, Christian - let us know what happens!

Just got the call 5mins ago from the Admissions Director to congratulate me and telling me they will be delighted to have me in their program.

for the record, the post above is mine...

Congrats - good luck!
