Hi,

I live in the bay area, CA. With a GMAT score of 560 (Q44 v24), I am wondering if I stand a chance to get admitted to some B-schools in the bay area such as Santa clara university, San jose state university. I have an undergrad GPA of 3.2 and about 7 years full time work experience in the field of telecommunications software design. My passion is in business development & investment management and my extra curricular activities are completely in managing money (for myself and my friends). Do let me know your comments adn suggestions.

Thanks.

Dear fido_dido,

If your GMAT score is within the mid-50% range for those schools, then you have a shot at being admitted there. If you are outside that range, but in the mid-80% range, then it is still possible but the rest of your application (essays, resume, interview, recommendations) should make a compelling case for your admission. If your GMAT is below the mid-80% range, then you might consider retaking the exam to increase your score. While it's not impossible to be admitted with a GMAT below the mid-80% range, it is quite difficult and the rest of your application will need to be stellar.

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."
