- 3.87 GPA from top 50 state school
- MIS/Finance undergrad
- No GMAT (too late to prep for this admissions cycle)
- 3 years tech consulting experience (currently at consultant level)

Is it even worth it to apply to Sloan MBA? Don’t want to waste my time if it’s a stretch and may be better off just applying to Top 15.

3 years exp is a little light. They prob want 5 and it’s difficult to determine without gmat.

Why not just do like an intense week or two prep for GMAT and see what you get? Do you need to submit it if it isn’t good? You might do better than you think with minimal prep given your education.

Prep the GMAT first. It's hard to see without it.

What's the rush? If you're applying to schools just because they have a gmat waiver, it seems like your priorities are questionable, or there is at best more to the story.

Wait another year, prep, and apply to more schools unless you have a burning platform right now.

like

Wait a year and take the gmat.

You have a strong background but not one particularly unique. I think a solid gmat score will significantly level you up.

You are also a little light in yoe, so an extra year will only help

like

Work another year or so then apply. Are you doing GSAP with D? That helps a lot with admissions.

Not great chances due to low ranked UG but would be improved if you did really well on gmat and showed fast progression at work

Top 50 state school? There are only 50 states.

haha should have clarified. Top 50 school that happens to be a public state school (not private)
