Yes...and you already knew that

While your GMAT isn’t the highest it won’t be an auto reject. Being a female with a solid tech GPA works in your favor. Just the way it is. So yeah, you have a chance for HSW.

imo you need something else (powerful story, ec or strong loc) as I don’t see it based on stats alone. I would suggest retaking the gmat.

Likely to get into an M7 however

Hey OP wanna link up to talk over apps? I'm targeting HBS (among others)

Will coming from ZS or my gmat score be the bigger issue?

Zs is respectable enough.
