I scored a 630 on GMAT. I think I can put together a strong story but am worried that my GMAT score may hold me back.

I currently have 4 years of experience in the aerospace industry. I spent the first two years in Finance rotational program and am currently a Finance Analyst working abroad with same company (American living in England). I have an undergraduate degree in Finance with a 3.6 GPA.

I'm looking to apply to UCLA, Northwestern, UT Austin, etc.

Do you think I have a chance at these schools?

Dear Julie82,

Possibly, but it will depend on how the rest of your application looks. Your GPA is strong, and from the limited information you posted, you appear to have some interesting professional experience. Since the schools you listed are highly selective, it will greatly depend on how compelling a case you make to be in the program. Perhaps take the GMAT again to try and increase your score at least 20 points? Regardless of whether you apply with a 630 or greater, you must submit a strong overall application. Finally, you might consider applying to at least 1 school with a GMAT average more in the 630-650 range for a backup plan.

Good luck,
Lisa
