So, my spirit was high until i took the GMAT.
Just before giving up on my search, kindly suggest schools that you know can be likely to open their doors to me.
I have an August 2015 total GMAT score of 400 (scaled 31 in the quantitative, 5.5 in analytical writing, 15 in verbal and 1 in integrated reasoning)
I have 5 years of professional work experience, 4th runner up of an international essay competition, high leadership capability at work and about 3 voluntary services participation, a 4.37/5.00 undergraduate CGPA, professional membership of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS, UK), and other after-undergraduate academic training. I am a Nigerian, resident in Nigeria
Do i stand a chance for MBA in any accredited school in the US, Europe and Canada? I wish to know if, with the above summary, i stand a chance. Please give names of schools.
I earnestly await your responses.
Many thanks

You should retake the exam. The very low verbal score means that a small improvement in that side of the test will produce a major lift in your GMAT.
There are no great schools available to you, but the schools that require a low GMAT score will still be better than those that do not ask for the GMAT. See: Shortcut to find the best US MBA www.find-mba.com/board/36065 and Why you should take the GMAT http://bit.ly/WhyGMAT

Agreed, I think that just a bit of study time on your weak verbal points could go a long way to making you far more competitive as a candidate. Try to work on your IR skills as well, a 1 in that section does not look so great.
