Hi Stacy,

Would like to have your asessment on my prospect for the Part Time MBA program from Stern (Langone). I am from India and have spent my 32 years in India only. I am a Chartered Accountant by profession with 10 years of experience with MNC's like LG, Reckitt Benckiser, Colgate Palmolive & Pernod Ricard (Current) organisation in various capacities. I am currently a Senior Manager in the Financial Planning and Analysis team of Pernod Ricard India's operation and have been with them for more than 4 years now. I am being transerred to Pernod Ricard US operations based out of NYC.I will have no problem with recommendationn,as I have been consistent performer in all my previous assignments. The only potential problem I foresee is my GMAT score as I feel it is on the lower side 640, that too after two attempts.

Do you think its worth a try. Please suggest.

Thanks & Best Regards
Shashi Ranjan

Dear Shashi,

I think it is possible you could be admitted to the Langone program at NYU with a strong overall application package. While your 640 might be below average, it is likely in range. If you have a record of high academic achievement and a successful career track record, then you can balance your GMAT score in the eyes of the committee. The key will be in submitting a strong, compelling package which conveys both your rationale for an MBA (especially at this point in your career) and why Langone is the right program for you.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
