I just finished my GMAT and I am somewhat surprised to say the least. I scored completely opposite of how I thought and what the GMATPrep showed I would. Anyways:
GMAT was 600 (V44, Q28). I was doing much better with verbal and not so well with Quant during the practices. None-the-less, that is what I have for now.
GPA is 3.81 in Business. While my school was less known, the actual business school is recognized for top quality students. They recently won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Not sure if that helps offset my lesser knwon school or not?
WE will be 2 years by Fall of 09. I work for a marketing and political research company in project management. While no formal job title promotion has been given, I have progressed in responsibilities. Started with small clients and small projects to the point of managing multiple projects across multiple countries all varying in scope and size of budget. Have quite a few diferent six-figure projects that I oversee the outsourcing of.
LofR can come from current Director of my department and also a former Professor. During my time in my UG program I had a fellowship where I worked closely with my Professors to aid them in their research or assist them in their classes. I have multiple Professors from my department willing to write letters on my behalf.
EC: Only really have past experience in helping coach youth hockey. I did this as volunteer work and continue to do so every now and then. While it isn't EC the other thing I have to my resume is extensive experience with other cultures. I have lived in Germany for quite some time and studied the language for 8+ years. My job and my travels have me looking internationally for my MBA as opposed to a US school.
My school list (heavily international):
1. GISMA in Hanover-Purdue (Avg GMAT is 620)
2. ERASMUS in Rotterdam (Avg GMAT is 630)
**EDIT** to note that choice 1 and 2 are a distant 1st and 2nd place
3. HEC
4. ESADE
5. ASU or CU-Leeds School of Business
That list is pretty much in order of my preference. After my GMAT today I am worried my GMAT may be low and my WE (although interesting) may still not be enough to get me into one of these programs. I know GISMA has an avg of 620 for their GMAT score so would bumping mine up any really help?
Many thanks for your help in advance!
Evaluation requested (Unsure of what to do)

Hi Brett,
When you contact VP (or any Admissions Consulting service) explain your situation and the schools you are interested in and they should be able to point you to the right people who have more expertise on European schools you are interested in (and other Euro/US schools that might also fit your profile).
Good luck!
