Hi Mbaiyer,

It is difficult for me to respond given the limited information you have written. Your GMAT score is a fair amount below the average for Haas, which is a concern. This being said, part-time MBA programs will focus more on your work experience than on your numbers (undergraduate record and GMAT score).

Here is some school specific advice for Haas: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... -business/

Dear Conrad and team

Thank you for you reply. Adding to my previois mail, I have 6 years of experience working in the mechanical engineering field, with two years in a leadership role. Also, if I take my GMAT again, will that be perceived as a bad sign or will it enhance my chances, if I get a higher score? Thanks again for all the help.

Regards
MI

Hi MI,

Retaking the GMAT will not be seen as a negative. In fact, only your highest GMAT score is self-reported on your application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score.

Best,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
