Hi,
I have given GMAT thrice. All the three times, I got low scores.
1st Attempt: 590 IR:2 AWA:4.5
2nd Attempt: 550 IR:5 AWA:5.5
3rd Attempt: 580 IR:1 AWA: NA(yet to come, though hoping for a 6 this time)
I have a work experience of 3 years as of now. I want to apply for the Fall 2015 batch. By then my work experience will be of 4 years.
I really don't want to give the GMAT again. Is it possible to get into one of the top 50 MBA universities in the world? I am mostly interested in going for the universities in US or Canada.
Please help how do I go about from here?

It seems very unlikely that you can get into a top 50 programme. Either improve your GMAT score (probably you need to work on your English, and to make it more western, to imrpove on the verbal and written elements) or reduce your aspirations. THis is a good programme for people wanting to enter top MBAs and MScs: http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/elt/foundation/businessandenglish/

Agreed, I'd say that you're a long shot at any ranked MBA program, except for perhaps one or two at the very, very bottom of the BW rankings: Howard University currently has an average GMAT of 511, for instance.
Barring anything extraordinary about your profile, I would look at unranked programs like American Kogod, CSU Long Beach, or New Mexico - Anderson, etc.
