Hello,

So far it looks like you’re on target with the school selection, except for Texas, which I think will be out of range. Given your industry and demographic groups, which tend to be over-represented and where higher GMAT is the norm, I believe you’d need a higher GMAT to be a viable candidate at Texas. Luckily, there are many other excellent programs to consider in the range where you’d be competitive.

Good luck with your MBA plans!

Best regards,

Hello,

Sure. I’m referring to schools such as Indiana, Rochester (Simon), Emory, Georgia Institute of Technology, Minnesota (Carlson), and so forth. This list contains a range of competitiveness, to be sure. All these programs have a lot to offer; it will take some research on your part but I’m sure you can find several schools in this broad range that meet your needs.
