Chinese
Undergrad :Statistics major , UC Berkeley
GPA: 3.3 around
Work EXP: 1 year in start up.
2 years in the rank #1 catastrophe model company in the insurance industry.
Job Function: Risk analysis and some client facing function (the clients are mostly Actuary or Catastrophe analyst, or other technical people on model side)

I am thinking about to having a MBA program focus on insurance the future. Since I'm working in the Bay Area, I don't want to move. So, Stanford and Berkeley really are the only choices for me.


I'm not sure whether a high GMAT will get me any good chance.

A high GMAT is always greatly to your credit and if you were a statistics major the Quant section shouldn't be a problem. Let's say that a high GMAT score is the best beginning but it really is just that. You need a good, well-rounded application in order to succeed. Think recommendations.

You will probably need at least a 700... but that's like the threshold. Nobody gets in on GMAT alone...

Thank you. Of course I need to get above 720, but I'm just afraid that my GPA will be a deal breaker.

To get into Stanford or Haas you need to score atleast 720 on your GMAT. With 720 on the GMAT and a stellar application, you wont need to worry about your GPA. 3 years of work experience is decent when applying to business schools, but business schools give a lot of weightage to leadership skills in a candidate. Extra-curriculars also form an important part of the application. Download this free ebook on how to get into top business schools at : https://www.interviewbay.com/mba/how-to- ... -ebook.php

Good Luck!
