Take a lok at http://business-schools.findthebest.com/compare/15-49-103-115-119-237-352-390-415/University-of-South-Carolina-Moore-SC-vs-Thunderbird-School-of-Global-Management-AZ-vs-University-of-Tennessee-Knoxville-TN-vs-University-of-Colorado-Boulder-Leeds-CO-vs-Babson-College-Olin-MA-vs-University-of-Pittsburgh-Katz-PA-vs-Syracuse-University-Whitman-NY-vs-CUNY-Bernard-M-Baruch-College-Zicklin-NY-vs-Boston-College-Carroll-MA

If you think you'll get 680 next time, then focus on that. 680 should make most of these schools available to you.

Search the GMAT board here for my post called "GMAT Tiers".

Duncan...I don't want to take the GMAT soon. So,I am thinking of applying to colleges with 620. I want to increase my chances...To reach 680 level,I would require 2-3 months.So,I want to focus on Apps for schools with 620 score.

Do you think the schools I have mentioned ...are within my reach?

read the post on GMAT Tiers. It explains that most students need to look at schools where they are above the average GMAT. Then look at the other factors: work experience, GPA, diversity, extra-curricular experience... and then adjust up or down depending on where they stand. If you are weak on all the other factors, then you need to be a long way over the average GMAT. I don't know your background, but I am sure you get my point.
