Please rate my stats / chances! DC Area MBA

by umdjb » Sun Feb 13, 2011 5:53 pm
Hello,

I would appreciate if someone could please rate my stats.

- Age 26 (will be 27 at enrollment)
- GMAT 590 (32Q,39V, 61 percentile) - Took the test one time, and studied the official GMAT book for about one month. Took two practice tests and scored 600 and 640. Interestingly, on both practice tests my math was much higher and verbal was lower.
- GPA 3.88 (Cum Laude) - Graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a degree in Economics.
- 3+ (will have four by enrollment) years of work experience with a Fortune 500 Aerospace and Defense firm. Also, briefly worked for Booz Allen Hamilton doing consulting.
- Graduated a two year Leadership Development Program.

I am looking to go to a solid part-time MBA program in the DC area. I have my sights set on George Mason University. My employer will cover 90% of the cost. My backup is Marymount University which I am confident I can get into.

Here is the GMU class profile for evening MBA.

- 610 Avg GMAT (80% within 570 to 640)
- GPA 3.28
- Avg age 29
- Avg work experience 6 years
- Class acceptance rate 65%, class size 304

I am looking for an MBA that is affordable and allows me the flexibility to work at the same time.

Does anyone have any experience with GMU or provide some advice whether I should apply to GMU now or wait, and retake the GMATs?

Thanks,
J

Hi umdjb,

I would recommend posting this information in the Ask an MBA Admission Consultant area. There are lots of experts on the site and I am sure that one would be willing to provide an answer.
