Up for GSAP this year but worried I’m not going to get into a great/approved program even with sponsorship in hand. Low GPA (sub 3.0), and GMAT mock at 595. I have a few more months, so hoping to get that to 685+. Anyone else in a similar boat? Any advice?

TTP is great for the GMAT; also consider pivoting it the GRE (I did). With low gpa, need to have a solid test score

I’m using Magoosh GREVocab app for flashcards. It’s been great so far

I highly recommend using Manhattan Prep to help with the GMAT. I used them via a class that only had Deloitte employees — it’s expensive but well worth it

Also, while programs care about scores and GPA, the application process is extremely holistic and cares about your experience, leadership, character, ambitions, etc.

Consider IU Kelly and Vanderbilt Owen. Also look at schools that have GMAT waivers

Wait why vandy? Are their avg scores lower?

My gmat practice tests were way lower than my actual score! So don’t give up! And also check out the GRE.

Try out of the GRE. Also I didn’t find Manhattan Prep nearly as helpful - or as cheap as GregMat
