Can you re-take the GMAT and get it a bit higher? The reason why I ask is that the top schools in Canada like McGill, Rotman, Schulich, etc. all have cohorts with average GMATs of between 660 and 680.

Now, with a 630 you're still in the general range of these schools, but you'd probably need something additional about yourself to make your profile stand out from the rest (especially because the average work experience at these programs is around 5 years, putting you at another disadvantage.)

If not, Concordia might be in reach for you with your current GMAT score and work experience.

And an unranked program like Ryerson could be a safety school for you.

Thank you.
To be honest, it would be difficult to retake the gmat as this was my second attempt, first was even terible (570).
How about telfer school ? Its gmat is around 620, don't you think that could be a good bet ?
Queens is another one, i know couple of people who got admit with low gmat and a not so impressive profile.
