Realistically, should I even try for M7s?
3.4 from a T20 UG, 324 GRE, ORM female coming from a tech/consulting background, but have some interesting extracurriculars. Honestly not sure if I should even spend time doing essays and apps for M7 if the chances are objectively slim.

Below average GRE and GPA is not a recipe for success at M7 admissions as an ORM from a over saturated industry background. But you can retake the GRE. Get a better score and you’re in the conversation.

STEM major?

Yeah need to increase GRE, that’s a oversaturated major too
