Hello,
I would appreciate your thoughts on any chances I have of getting into a f/t program at any of the Berkeley, London Business School, Colombia, or Stern.
I have taken the GMAT and unfortunately I only scored 670. For several reasons I believe that upon retaking it I could score at least 700-720.
However, I understand that it is not a good look taken the exam more than once, so the questions I have are:
1. Do I have any chance of getting accepted with my current score and profile? (rest of profile outlined below)
2. Should I re-sit the GMAT to improve my chances, or will this in reality not make much of a difference?
A quick summary of my profile:
- 30 years old
- GPA equivalent of approx 3.3 at top Australian Uni
- Undergraduate degree in Finance and IT
- 3.5 yrs experience at Oracle, 4 years experience as consultant at KPMG
- Established and ran own web development business during uni
- Heavily involved in sporting activities, and some involvement in community work, in particular in helping indigenous Australians in remote communities.
Any thoughts or comments you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Julian
