I applied for the earliest deadline for the full-time UMD Smith business school this past weekend with a GMAT score of 600. Verbal percentile 80, Math percentile 45. I don't know the essay scores yet.
My GPA is a 3.8 from a smaller midwest college with a double major in Marketing and Business Management and a Minor in Accounting. I graduated May 2008.
I have about 1 year working experience outside of college as a receptionist with a raise in pay last April. I really had a challenge not finding any relevant work for my major and after searching and applying for five months I took a receptionist job that I have been in for a year now. I do have internship experience in my field of choice.
I was involved in four clubs in college, all four of which I held officer positions, two of which I held the president position.
I recieved four awards in college;
-The College of Business ACBSP Undergraduate Student Leadership Award, 2008
-The Outstanding Student in Marketing Award, 2008
-The ETS Major Field Test Achievement award, 2008
-Named a Dana Scholar as a Top 10 Business Student at The University of Findlay, 2007-08
The GMAT range for current full-time students there is between 600-710. Do I honestly have any chance at getting in? Is there anything I can do to improve my chances at this point?
