640 can I get into NYU Part time Program

by toksavuln » Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:26 pm
Hi guys. I'm wondering whether my GMAT score will allow me to go to NYU Part time MBA program or how difficult it would be to get in. My score:
640
39 math
40 verbal
GPA 3.39
major gpa acct, finance (double major) 3.7 each
Job exp: 2.5yrs full time (but not at one place)

I just took the GMAT for the first time yesterday and received a score of 640. The math score was just about dead on with what the GMAT prep score shot out, 1 point less, 39 vs 40 and I had 10 or 11 questions left which I had to guess at the end before time ran out, while the verbal was a lot higher than I had expected considering that I had not study for it at all at 40 with me having to guess like 3 at the end before time ran out.

Overall, I am happy with my score even though I feel the math could have been a bit higher. I am considering retaking the GMAT after more studying but I feel kind of burnt out now.

Maybe! It depends on everything else. If you are working from a strong company in NYC with managerial responsibilities and a strong career behind you, sure.

The Part-Time program tends to be a bit easier than the full-time programs.

Hi


80% students in the part time MBA scored in the range of 620-730. Since you are considering retaking GMAT a higher score would make you sure GMAT wise. Right now it is difficult to comment on your how secure you are GMAT wise. GMAT alone won't determine your chances of admission; academics, beyond the academics will and your work experience plays a vital role as well.
Generally most of the applicants have a good amount of work experience. Although it is not just the work experience that counts but also what you did there like-what were your achievements, what initiative you took, what changes you drove in your workplace etc. So to leverage this if you can show that in 2 years you have demonstrated the skills business schools are looking for you could put in a strong set of essays. Hence the quality of your work, your academics and beyond academics will play an important role in determining your candidature.

Thank you for the responses gentlemen.

My experience is in 2 fortune 500 companies but my managerial duty would be as you imagine limited. Not to bring up a sore subject but would me being part of a minority group (hispanic) help me out with admissions?

Why sore subject? not a sore subject at all. And yes, it would help. Quite a bit actually.

Your GMAT is a bit on the low side, but as you are within range, if this year is right for you, apply. Worst comes to worst you retake the GMAT and reapply next year, which is the same as waiting :)

Hi toksavuln,

Minority group will add some points in your favour but end of the day other aspects discussed earlier will also play an important role. We would advise you to retake gmat so with a better score and confidence you apply and make it into your dream school.

Thank you for the responses guys.

Sore subject because I read on some college boards a lot of people seem to have a problem with it.

I am going to go ahead and retake the GMAT before the deadline comes for applying to the program.

That said, would it be a wise course of action to not have the gmat score automatically submit at the end of the test and instead look at the score myself first and if it's higher then send it?

Hi,



Well that is entire your decision. Anyways you have to report all the gmat attempts so if you are confident enough go ahead.
Now some tips while you reappear for your gmat � Juggling between work and studies is tough so you need to define a significant time for your GMAT preparation. Sometimes taking few days off work for preparing for the GMAT can help a person tremendously. If you have time this may not be a bad idea. Take practice GMAT tests to see how you are doing. If you cannot do that don't worry. What might work instead is to set aside 1-2 hours at night on weekdays and major part of your weekend to study and prepare for GMAT- in this case we will suggest a good 2-3 months preparation. However we recommend you to keep taking practice tests to gauge your performance. It will help you in identifying your weak areas and you can focus on them accordingly. You might be able to study more than the given hours and that would take you less than 2-3 months. It all depends on your potential really.
There are various ways you can use to practise for your GMAT. You might need to change your practise style and try this combination to provide you flexibility and different styles to practise so it doesn't get monotonous.
It could be combination of-
1-Books- Books like- The Official Guide for GMAT Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review etc could be used.
2-Online Study Guide: Websites like Knewton, Grockit etc provide you with practise questions online.
3-Smart phone applications- Kaplan, Veritas etc offer applications to prepare for GMAT on your smart phones.
