Scored a 350 on my GMAT. Should I still apply for grad school?

Update:

the school I am applying for says you need a 450 on the gmat with a 2.7 gpa. I have a 2.67 gpa. However, I've also heard they are lenient.

    I'll be blunt. You're not ready for business school. You're going to end up piling on debt and eventually failing out.

    In most graduate schools, a grade below a 3.0 does not count toward graduation. You won't barely squeak by in grad school. You'll fail out.

    Make a different plan.

    Your GMAT is so low that only about 7% of the people who took the exam did worse than you did. That is a very bad sign. It indicates that you need more than just learning how to study. Your mind isn't ready for business school.

    Get some work experience and try again in a few years. Or consider a different path.

    I don't mean law school. I mean culinary school.
