Hi Stacy! I love your blog and your insights posted on this message board. I would appreciate any tips you may have to offer regarding Berkeley. It's my dream school.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Minnesota with Bachelors in Business --- 3.7 GPA. I have worked both external consulting with BearingPoint and internal strategy/marketing consulting at Thomson Reuters. I will have four years of professional experience.

Here is the kicker, I scored a 600 on the GMAT. I am committed to re-taking the exam, but was curious what you thought my chances may be for admission? How much do I need to improve? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

Dear Jason,

You need to score in the mid-50% range for Haas to have a decent shot, but close to/above the average to be competitive. Haas has a large applicant pool and can be highly selective. Thus you also need to submit a strong set of essays and recommendations, as well as have a great interview.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"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."
