Hi All,
Need some advice. I am hoping to apply in Round 3 for the EWMBA program at Haas. The deadline for the application is tomorrow and i took the GMAT yesterday and scored 580 (Q44, V25), quite disappointing.
Should i still apply or wait till next year?
Below is a little about myself:
Male
25
Native speaker, born in the UK and moved to the states in 2001.
Undergrad - California State University - 3.7GPA - finished in 3 years with high honors
CPA license holder
Roughly 5 years of work experience - first three years in FP&A groups at public companies and the last two years working at an investment firm, focusing on the energy technology space.
My recommendations include my prior boss (CFO of a public company and alumnus of Haas) and my current boss (investment bank of over 15 years).
What should i do? please help.....application is due in 32 hours!
Round 3 applicant - EWMBA

Hi,
I would recommend that you retake your GMAT and apply in round 1 next year.
Your low GMAT score is too low for the program so your chances for admission are not that high and it's gonna be harder to re-apply rather than submitting your first application with a satisfactory GMAT score.
Other than that your profile seems competitive. But if you would like more in-depht insights for your individual situation you are more than welcome to sign up for a free consultation with MBAitNOW. We offer a free profile evaluation within 24 hours.

Thanks for sharing your profile.
I recommend retaking the GMAT, and postponing your application. From your background, there is a good chance with the right preparation you can score much better. This would greatly boost your chances.
Wish you all the best!

Hi there,
Unfortunately, that GMAT score won't be competitive even in the part-time program. I would take the summer to prep for another go at the GMAT and apply R1 next season. Best of luck!

Thanks for the advice. Barring the program opening a round 4 and enough time to retake, I will be applying next year.
Any tips to significantly improve my verbal score? I think if become more of an active reader it will help.
