Beat The GMAT a GMAT & MBA community

With a strong application package I think you have a legitimate shot at either school, and I think at least in the case of NYU you stand a pretty good chance of getting in (I know more about Stern Admissions than I do about Stanford). Your score is just a bit under the average of 715 at NYU, and your work experience puts you above averages at either school.

What I can suggest is to invest a bit of time in your essays and make as good of a sales pitch as you possibly can. If you have any extracurricular activities or volunteer experiences, make sure those are noted as well.

I don't think there's any reason for you not to apply to both Stanford and NYU. Don't get flustered, I'd go for it!

Thanks for your nice reply..! This is really helpful to me.... I will go for it and give my best try in that.

All the best to you as well,
Serena

Hi Serena, Congrats for your score. You have done good job of scoring 710. Although I’m not the correct person to answer this but still have observed that you need to score 720+ for aiming at Stanford but as you have enough work exp and 710 GMAT score you can give it a try and keep us updated.

Thank you very much campbellronald7 for your nice response. I also feel the same and will retake the test.
I may need some more practice to do it better. Will try to perform steadily in the next test.

Thanks again,
Serena
