Dear Stacy,
I want to apply to Stern R2 and want to know my chances.
GMAT 690 (88%)
V 40 (89%)
Q 44 (66%)
I speak fluent Chinese and English, got my law degree (undergrad) from a top regional school in Asia. GPA was only 3.05/4 but I ranked within top 30% at graduation because my school traditionally gives low GPA. I was in the management associate program of an international bank before working as a lawyer. My current annual salary is comparable to those of average Stern MBA grads.
I want to get a MBA at this age (5 yr WE) because I want to go to a reputable school in the US, preferably NYC because I really love that city. I want to gain more exposure and broaden my skill set and knowledge so that I can be (more) ahead of the game when I come back to work in the legal industry. Also want to explore if I may have the chance to switch my career to banking at a later stage. I currently practice commercial law and do small/mid size M&A deals at work.
I know very well that my GMAT score is below average, and particularly week at the Quant section. Admission to Stern is very competitive I understand, but I hope you may advise me stood a good chance? or should I be less ambitious and consider another school (I dont have preference in terms of area, and are open to different options).
Grateful if you could shed some light!
Many thanks!
Gina
