Hard to tell without addt’l details about your background and goals; however, I’d retake the GMAT and try getting another 30 pts to be more competitive. Otherwise, solid profile for Darden, Fuqua, McCombs, maybe UCLA as well
Get that GMAT to 720-740 and you’re looking at potential $ at T15 and getting in at T10. 700 is iffy with the GMAT inflation that’s occurred over the past 5 years
How can there be GMAT inflation? The GMAT score is literally a percentile of where you rank against peers who took it. You mean the competition is better and now you have to try harder to get an equivalent score?
Thanks SM1. Goal is to meet a future business partner at M7, and then start a venture upon graduation
Spot on by PwC1. I’ve seen amazing profiles get rejected from T15 programs because of a 700 score (fairly similar background to you, actually) but you have a decent gpa (hopefully it was in something business/Econ related). Just retake it and try crushing it as much as possible. If you can’t, focus a lot of your time on crafting an awesome story and get going on prepping your recommended
Thanks for the help P1 and SM1. Not looking forward to retaking the gmat 😖
Had a remarkably similar profile with 1 extra year of work experience and got waitlisted at Fuqua, Ross, and Kellogg. GMAT for us needs to be in the 720-740 range... better luck this year.
GMAT policies have changed
GMAT made it easier to score higher and possible to take more frequently in order to make more $$$. I have heard from ADs from both Wharton and Booth saying that they aren’t happy with that direction it is going. Both said GMAT will be holding less weight this year and they’ll be looking to get around he same or lower GMAT average to stop people from spending all their time on the GMAT rather than other parts of the application.
