Ask Veritas Prep Admissions Consulting

Hello ,

I have been trying to get into the part-time (evening) programs of Kellogg and Booth. I have a 3.8 GPA from Purdue (BS Engineering) and have 6 years of valuable work experience, along with a strong travel exposure and other extra curricular activities (recommendations should not be an issue either as I have my managers to back me up). However my GMAT score is 640 (stronger Quant), in spite of 680-720 that I had scored on my practice exams. I am just concerned that this GMAT score will affect my entry into the evening programs of Kellogg/Booth. I am not a native English speaker and as a result have always had issues with the reading comprehension section.

Any thoughts on this ?

Did you hear back from Kellogg? I'm still waiting to hear back for the Saturday cohort.

Still in the application process for Winter 2013.....still some time to go !

You should know that part time programs are not as strict about the GMAT as the fulltime programs since they are not required to report their scores to the ratings boards. THey also understand that you are focused on your career and do not perhaps have the same time to prepare for the test as others who are doing their full time MBA prep. I would encourage you to apply. Let us know if you need help bringing out your best in the applications. I have a lot of expertise with PT programs.
