Unique Admissions Situation - 700 GMAT

by MR2015 » Thu Oct 25, 2012 11:42 am
I'm looking for a little advice on the admissions process. I have a unique story, so here's little bit about my background.

I graduated with a degree in Musical Theatre Performance, and after attempting a career in acting, I have turned to the hospitality management field. I'm looking to get an MBA in order to transition to a career in marketing. Here are my stats...

700 GMAT (46Q, 40V)
3.1 GPA
3.5 yrs work experience in hospitality management

I've applied to Ross, McCombs, Anderson, and Marshall all in round 1. Should I consider widening my scope and apply to more programs in round 2? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You should have a good shot at those schools with your numbers. Maybe think of 1 or 2 more schools. You could try 1 more safety and a stretch. The stretch might be a good play with your unique background.
