Hi,
I have considered applying to the NYU PT Program. I'm also interested in some of the Top-25 range FT programs but have lingering doubts. These doubts are a product of my underwhelming 2.4 undergraduate GPA. I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Business Economics from a mid-tier public university. Although I've yet to take the GMAT, my test date is approaching and I've consistently scored in the ~650-670 range on practice CATS. The rest of my profile is as follows:
- Work exp - 5 years as an arbitrage analyst at a small consulting firm with many promotions to AVP. Leadership responsibilities include training and supervision of staff.
- Extra curricular activities include varied local volunteer work and participation in a citywide young professionals business club.
- I'm currently taking classes as a non-matriculated student at a mid tier PT MBA program (though not interested in finishing a degree at this school) and anticipate receiving minimum B+ grades.
I know I'm already at a great disadvantage with my undergraduate GPA but if I can score a 670+ GMAT, would applying to top 25 FT programs be worth consideration? Is my profile even competitive enough for NYU PT and other NYC area PT programs?
