Hi there

I was wondering if someone could help me out here; I am in a bit of a dilemma regarding my gmat score.

Undergrad GPA 2.8/4.0 and 3.0 in the last 2 years from renowned school

GMAT: 610 - Q 35 (39%) V 39 (87%) AWA 6/6 91%

Work exp: 2 years in Marketing and 3 internships while in school all renowned organizations

I have no idea what happened to my Quant section, but I am so busy with work I really do not want to do another re-write!!!

My target schools are Rotman or Schulich part time MBA. I have talked to both over the phone and they have said I stand a good chance.

Do I really? Or do they just want the application fee?

Should I rewrite? (my practice scores are all above 650 +)

Please tell me what are my chances?!

thank you!!!!

Thanks for your questions.

In doing some research on your behalf, I do believe you stand a chance at both Rotman and Schulich. However, I am frankly more concerned about your GPA than I am your GMAT. The Rotman webpage says they require a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/mba/admis ... m#criteria
and Schulich makes a similar statement. Before you apply, I think maybe you should follow up with them directly about this. Your GMAT score, on the other hand, is within the middle 50% range for each program.

As always, strong essays and recommendations can go a long way in helping you overcome a quantitative weakness in your application.

Good luck to you!
