Hi Mbaiyer,

It is difficult for me to respond given the limited information you have written. Your GMAT score is a fair amount below the average for Haas, which is a concern. This being said, part-time MBA programs will focus more on your work experience than on your numbers (undergraduate record and GMAT score).

Here is some school specific advice for Haas: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... -business/

Dear Conrad and team

Thank you for you reply. Adding to my previois mail, I have 6 years of experience working in the mechanical engineering field, with two years in a leadership role. Also, if I take my GMAT again, will that be perceived as a bad sign or will it enhance my chances, if I get a higher score? Thanks again for all the help.

Regards
MI

Hi MI,

Retaking the GMAT will not be seen as a negative. In fact, only your highest GMAT score is self-reported on your application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score.

Best,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
