I have shortlisted few schools on my GMAT score

I am a bit skeptical writing my GMAT again. I wish to stay with this score as of now.
If, in any case, I don't get through with any of school. I'll be left with no other option writing GMAT again.

Please advice.

Hi,

Would it be wise to consider
Wake Forest, and
Iowa Tippie

Hi,

A gentle reminder.

Thank you
Ayush

Hi Ayush,

Thanks for your post.

I think you are on the right track with the schools you have mentioned. If you are strongly focused on an MBA this year, I suggest applying to 4-5 schools in total in the groupings of:
-1-2 schools from the following which I would classify as 'reach' schools: Texas A&M, Michigan State,U of IL-Urbana Champaign, Purdue, Iowa, Penn State Smeal
-2 from 'target' schools: Wake Forest, other schools where average GMAT is approx. your score
-1-2 from 'safety' schools: Babson Olin, other schools where average GMAT is below yours

Your average years of work experience will be below the average for most of the schools, so be sure to solicit strong letters of recommendation and highlight your accomplishments on your resume.

Best,
Heidi
