Greetings,
I want to thank everyone ahead of time for the responses.
I graduated from Louisiana State in 2007 with a degree in Construction Management and a minor in Business Administration. My overall GPA is a 3.1, with my degree specific GPA is at a 3.4.
I was very involved with a student organization, holding two positions for two years and I hold 3 glowing letters of recommendations (2 from former employers, one from a faculty member at LSU).
I am disappointed with my GMAT score- a 590. I had practiced a lot, and my projected scores were in the mid 600 ranges. LSU stated on their website and in the information session that they look for a 600 or better on the GMAT, yet their statistics show that the 80% range is a 515-570. I'm not entirely clear on where I stand with this. I also have a 1050 on the GRE that I took last summer.
I have been working for nearly two years with a large construction/engineering firm (and have worked on a dozen projects all over the country) before I was layed off last month and have since started my own renovation company. I'm not sure how to put a positive spin on that.
What are my chances of getting into Louisiana State's MBA program in Baton Rouge? Should I retake the GMAT and hope for the best?
I am currently in the process of applying, and I'm worried that with the increased interest in graduate school, I will have no chance of getting in.
Thanks,
Jess

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
