Do I stand a chance among the other applicants who have a stellar profile and excellent graduation GPA!!

Thanks for your valuable time addressing my query..!

Hi,

Thanks for your post. You have a great profile with diverse experiences both academically, socially and professionally. Your GMAT score will be key for you given your GPA. At this point I think it's fair to say that you are indeed competitive for 2+2, but your GMAT score does need to be top notch in order to round out your academic profile. Best of luck as you prepare for the exam!
