Hello boys & girls. 3.2 gpa from an SEC school w/ 710, recs from Wharton grads and a Columbia professor. Aside from Columbia, what are my chances at other M7s?

M7 will be incredibly tough but not impossible. If you're set on bschool I'd recommend applying to some T15s too. With good work experience and a well written story T15 is manageable

Thanks

Very low unless you’re a URM

It means under represented minority. A ORM (over represented) would be white males, Indian males, etc. that have a ton of applicants of the same background in the applicant pool

I’ve raised > $10k for kids charities and volunteer year round w special olympics

Was the sec school vandy? Lots of disparity between the schools in the conference

It was not vandy

What if business class gpa is > 3.5? (tried to be a doctor but chem didn’t sit well w me)

This score was first try. hoe much of a difference would a higher score make?

Agreed...retake the GMAT

I’d go to any of: Ross Wharton Columbia Booth Mccombs

I'd consider Fuqua as well. One of the few schools that really emphasize fit over hard stats

Columbia may be doable, depending on the essays/work experience/recs, but that GPA/GMAT combo doesn't do you any favors. T15 is definitely feasible, but M7 will be tough; rule of thumb is that you can survive one weak dimension on your application, but more is risky. Are there any parts of your application where you would stand out?

For reference, I had success with a similar GMAT, but a GPA that could counterbalance it and a narrative to my application that was very specific to my target M7.
