Dear Stacy,

I am a 27 year old who graduated from the University of South Carolina with a 3.6 in Hotel Management. Upon graduation, I was accepted into the management training program with Marriott International. Over the next three years I was promoted numerous times, eventually settling upon a role as a director of room for a mid size property ($24 million in revenue for my department) in the Ritz Carlton brand. Over the past few years I have served in the United States Tennis Association as part of the urban activism program. I am moderately fluent in Mandarin Chinese and just scored a 700 (42 V, 46 Q) on the GMAT. I am planning on taking it again, if necessary, and I believe that a 700-710 is do able, although not statistically different. Post-MBA, I would like to move into a strategy consulting firm. What would be my chances of admittance to Darden, Tuck and Duke. Thanks for your time.

Dear jsche229,

Based on your post, you have a competitive profile for your target schools. I don't think a GMAT retake is necessary as your score is right around these schools' average and you have a solid GPA. What will be critical is your presentation of your rationale for an MBA in relation to your past experience and future career boals. How will an MBA with your hotel management experience facilitate your transition to consulting? Your essays, recommendations and interviews are integral to your decisions and you need to use them to your advantage in making your case for a seat in the class.

Good luck,
Lisa
