Hello,

Is it possible to gain admission into a business school in the US with a fairly strong GPA of 3.3 but a low GMAT score of 420?

I will appreciate suggestions of schools.

Thank you

Kayode

Unfortunately, a 420 is SUPER low. And, I hate to have to add this, but a 3.3 isn't exactly a strong GPA. It's a fine GPA - and probably in line with the median for many of the programs you might end up considering, but it isn't a differentiator nor can it compensate for a low GMAT. So you're going to need to retake that test - sorry!

Your GMAT is going to be seen as a major red flag and your GPA is not high enough to override this fact. If you already have not I would retake the GMAT to get a more competitive score.

Hope this helps!

"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."
