Dear adn10,

Generally speaking, you are competitive for schools where your GMAT falls within the mid-50% range, your GPA is close to the average, and the curriculum makes sense for your career goals. You still have a chance at schools where your GMAT average is in the mid-80% range, but the rest of the application will need to be quite strong to mitigate your score. There are many options in the Boston area, so hopefully that will give you some guidelines as you evaluate your profile against the schools' class profiles.

Good luck,
Lisa
