Hi Stacey/Lisa,
I have an undergraduate business degree with a major in finance and minor in accounting. I had a 3.32 overall and a 3.77 in my finance courses. I just took the gmat and got a 660 (43 in quant, 38 in verbal). I work in finance/accounting for a large company and did 2 internships with them before I graduated. I have been working full time for them for 15 months now and really want to get into a top 10 school.
My first question - I would like to apply to start grad school in the fall of 2010, at which time ill have 2.5 years of work experience (3 years if internships are included). Would I have better chances if I waited a year or 2 and built up more experience? Would it be worth my time to even try to apply for a top 10 school for 2010 or do I not meet the criteria yet? Should I retake the GMAT? I also should have good recommendations and was very involved during my undergrad, and volunteer in the community, etc. Thanks.
