Where can I get in with my GRE and profile?

by Hazn » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:09 pm
Hello, I am interested inapplying for the top 25 business schools- particularly NYU, Columbia, Stanford, etc.

First off, please dont patronize me on asking GRE questions on the GMAT forum. I dont know where else to ask.
Here is my profile:

Academics:GRE Score of 1540 (740 Verbal, 800 Quant)- Equivilant of 760 GMAT I think.
Dual Major business student at Ohio State University
3.54 GPA, Graduated Summer 2010

Professional: CPA by August 2011
Currently working for a super regional bank at headquarter as a financial anaylst(top 5)
Will have 2 years of work experience by Fall 2012 and will move up to senior analyst by summer 2012.

I am interested in applying for for the Fall 2012 admission for the top schools that accept GRE scores. Could someone please evaluate my profile and suggest a top school that I might qualify for? Thank you for the help!

Hello,

I believe your GRE score would be fine for the schools you mention, i.e., the top MBA programs that accept GRE. Your GPA and career advancement also help to qualify you. That said, along with advancement, you should show outstanding achievement at work (leadership, impact, etc.), as well as solid extracurriculars and/or some other demonstration of well-roundedness (all such programs want you to bring something interesting to the table). Not least, your goals and how they fit into your overall candidacy will be a critical factor. Finally, being qualified for these programs is only the first step -- most of the applicants they reject are qualified. You application needs to fundamentally answer the question, why should the program accept you out of all the other well qualified applicants of a similar work and demographic background?
