- GMAT Score:680
I took the GMAT last weekend and scored 680 (Q46, V38)! I'm pretty stoked but not sure if its enough. Here are some quick facts about my background:
Male born in India, grew up in an African country, fluent in 4 languages, studied in a Big Ten school, dropped the ball, ended up with a 2.85 GPA, somehow magically got a job with a Big 4 accounting firm as an auditor, got my act together, worked in the NY office, got a CPA license, worked in a foreign office for several years, got promoted along the way, back in NY office now, been working for 8 years and as a manager for 3 years.
I am excited at scoring 680 on the first shot and I think I can get to 720 on the next shot if I can work on my timing. But I keep hearing that there is not much of a diff between 680 and 720. Any suggestions? And even if I did get a 720, do I even have shot with my crappy undergrad GPA?
My target schools are (in order of priority):
Harvard / Stanford (probably not even going to bother applying)
UPenn
Columbia
UC Berkeley
Kellogg
LBS
