Background Check
After reviewing my applications I realized I made a very slight error on my current salary. I put 59,000 versus 58,000. I actually just made an honest mistake. Do you think this will present any kind of significant issue? I guess I would be able to back it up by saying future raises etc. But I would...

Hi Lisa, I was wondering what you think the negatives are in retaking the GMAT. I am leaning towards retaking mostly because I think it could make a difference in whether or not I am offered a scholarship at some of my less competitive options. Realistically I would say it is most likely that I will...

Thanks for the quick response. I guess my follow up question has to do with the generalization of the schools I put. I am trying to be smart about compiling a list of 6-8 schools and I am wondering if saying I have a "shot" refers more to the NWstern caliber or to the NYU PT/Georgetown cal...

Extracurriculars
I am writing with a general question. There have been tons of posts of how to overcome a low gmat or gpa but limited discussion about overcoming weak extracurriculars. My question is if you have a time horizon of about 10 months before you apply how can you best overcome having basically no extracur...

Northwestern JD MBA
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows about Northwestern's JD MBA program. I am curious about whether admission is comparable to that of Kellog or if it is more difficult. I think my real estate background and future goals would be well suited for the program but I did notice that my 710 GMAT and ...

Eliot, Thank you for your response. I would like to continue on the career path I am currently on. I interned in various elements of the real estate profession all three summers in college and love what I do. I feel that a business education can build on what I have learned over the past 3 years. My...

Lisa-thanks for the response. One last question-would you recommend re-taking the GMAT to try and boost my score another 30 points? Do you think that would make a difference in my chances of being accepted to top schools?
Thanks-

Profile Evaluation
Hi I just took the GMAT and did slightly worse than expected. I got a 680 and plan on taking it again and hopefully scoring in the low 700's where all of my practice tests were. For the purposes of this evaluation let's say that I don't improve. My math was in the 69% and verbal in the 87%. I did do...
