Dear [email protected],

I'm not sure what you are asking for in your post. Could you be more specific? You have enough experience and your GMAT is probably in range, although on the low side, for the program. I don't know enough about your profile to comment further on your chances.

Regards,
Lisa

I want to know what are my chances of getting admission into Kelley school's online MBA program. My GMAT score is low (Q=48 but low score on verbal) but it's within their 80% range (as published on Kelley's website).
Will my strong work experience (some of which is in a Manager position) help me compensate for the low GMAT score?
Also, do they consider undergrad GPA or grad GPA (since I already have a MS degree)?

Thanks.

As with any MBA program, the evaluation of applicants for admission to the Kelley online program will be holistic. Consequently, your work experience and GPA can make up for a GMAT score below average. Both your undergraduate academic record and master's academic record will be considered in your evaluation. The GPA that will be used for reporting purposes is your undergraduate GPA. You have a chance at admission for this program, so use the components in your control to make a compelling case for your admission over the competition. In other words, use the essays, recommendations, and interview to your advantage.

Good 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."
