Chances of getting into an m7 or t15 with current stats?
26 African American Female, gmat 670, stem gpa 3.1, research experience at an Ivy League and published a paper, now working at a well known pharma company. Do I have a shot or should I retake the gmat and apply round 3?

I’d apply to 1 M7 and 1 T15 R2 to see where you stand and at the same time prep for a GMAT retake. You’ll need a bit higher score to balance the GPA.

If you don’t have any decent ECs at the moment, I’d forego everything I said and suggest investing time into that and the GMAT and applying next year.

Then definitely go for a few schools R2!

Fair shot at all HSW + M7, aim high and land among the stars ✨

But really tho - you’ve taken the gmat. Why not throw in a few apps and see? Emphasize your story and make it interesting - M7 want a well rounded class, not just ‘stats’.

I say apply R2 and apply to MLT MBA Prep at the same time. If R2 doesn’t work then MLT is a phenomenal network to help prepare for R1 next year

What’s worse that happens! Just apply you got this! Non of us know your chances

i think T15 is totally possible. M7 maybe any other year, but still worth a shot, why not

Definitely worth taking a shot at a couple M7 schools! If you get dinged than just re-do the GMAT.

Based off my experience, I believe 60k is a fair salary but am I not communicating that on my resume.

Has anyone read any interesting books on how to approach QA?

On my team, software engineers end up creating test cases by writing up step-by-step guides for each ticket. QA employees follow these and innovate them where they can - but they ultimately need SEs to provide them A LOT.

This process seems dumb - the test cases disappear after the ticket is completed and I feel like QA isn't much of a professional role if they just follow guides provided to them.

Is there a better way?
