What’s the gmat?

Oh wow sorry thought I put it in, 730

Yeah shoot your shot at M7. I listened to all the forum people and way undershot my potential schools. I had a 3.27 and 700 GMAT ORM with no fancy consulting experience or anything and I’m getting all these t15 acceptances and invites. Shoulda shot my shot at Columba or Yale smh 🤦‍♀️

I’m curious why people are saying this is a reach for M7, I’ve seen people get in with less impressive stats

Yeah I also have anecdotes of people getting in with a 620.

Johnson and Emory should be achievable. Great job on the GMAT! 730+ great performance in your masters should show adcom that you are better than the undergrad 2.9 GPA.

Competitive at t15. M7 is a reach but shoot your shot fam

given a good story, essay, interviews at atleast one top 25 could be attainable: Emory, Indiana, Vanderbilt) most likely in (target top 20 schools): Tepper, UNC, USC and shoot your shot for a few reaches at M7 and T15

Doing something like HBS CORe or MBA Math could also help you build up a defense over the low GPA.

Don’t sell yourself short on applications. If you have M7 or T10 schools that really interest you, you definitely should apply. Everything ex the GPA is strong and you never know what might happen!

Hi All! I need some quick advice. Is it better to go for a MBA (over 17k in debt) or a ProSic certification? My company would cover the cert, but they don’t offer any tuition reimbursement, unfortunately… I want to be at the Director level in 5years, but I’ve heard I need a graduate degree to even be considered… I’ve considered leaving my current company just for better benefits/pay.
