varma3008,

Thanks for your note. While your grades are fine, your 640 gmat is a bit low for the very top schools. Thus, you are doing the right thing by focusing on schools like Babson, Boston U and U Maryland Smith. Given your strong interest in Entrepreneurship, Babson is probably your best choice. Since you are focused on the Northeast, you might also look at Boston College - perhaps U. Rochester.

If you submit high quality applications to these schools, you should be able to gain admission to at least one of these schools.

Sincerely,

varma3008,

Thanks for your reply. I think Cornell, CMU and NYU will all be reach schools for you based on your current 640 GMAT score. In fact, you are currently 40-60 points below their average scores. The best way to improve your chances at these schools is by retaking the GMAT and getting a score in the upper 600s.

Sincerely,
