I just scored a 560 but need a 600. I was wondering how big of a gap that actually is in the eyes of the admission board. I'm trying to get into wake evening program. My undergrad grads were not so good. I have a masters degree and have been succesful at work. This year I won an excellence award given to the top 5% of my company. Also I am on the board of directors for a localnonprofit so I am involved in the community.
Couple of thoughts:
1) if you can get a 560, you should be able to get a 600--have you tried taking a prep course?
2) you say you "need" a 600--why? is this based on averages posted by Wake's program? What many folks don't realize is that the evening program stats are not required to be added into the full time stats for the rankings. For this reason, schools can be (and are) a little more flexible on the admssions requirements. The evening programs are generally revenue generating programs for the universities, and they want to fill (and add) seats in these programs. If you can't ultimately pull off the 600, then apply anyway, aleviating concerns about academics by showing quant strength in other ways, and you just might get in.
As always, we can help you prep your application if you want.
good luck!
