Greetings all
I am interested in applying for the part-time MBA program at NYU Stern. Here are my stats-
1) Got my BS in from a large state school in 2002 with a sub 2.5 GPA. My grades in my major are closer to a 3.0.
2) Got a Masters degree in Finance from a second tier business school with a 3.5 GPA. (I tested extremely well on the GRE-close to a perfect score)
3) Have worked in an investment bank in the North-East for the past 4 years and risen through the ranks very fast.
4) I am not part of an underrepresented minority group.
Is there any GMAT score I could get that would give me a reasonable chance of admission at NYU's part time MBA program (assuming good essays and super recommendations)? I have neither the funds nor desire to quit working for 2 years to pursue the MBA option. The MBA application process is long and involved and I would rather not waste my time if my undergrad GPA is going to be an insurmountable barrier.
Thanks to all in advance for your views/advice/scorn.

Dear bigbossman,
I do think you have a good shot at getting into the part-time program at NYU if you can score in the mid-50% range for this program. You should be able to find the mid-50% range for the part-time program online or asking the admissions office directly. If you can score at or above the average GMAT, that would be ideal. However, I think if you can get in the mid-50% range, you will be competitive with strong recommendations and your work experience.
Good luck,
Lisa
