Ask Clear Admit

Hello,

I am hoping someone could review my profile, as I feel I'm a fairly non-traditional applicant and am having difficulty determining how my profile compares.

First of all, my GMAT - I scored a 670 (41V, 40Q).

Overall, my experience has led me to an interest in getting an MBA with a concentration in marketing, to give me formal training in this area. With an MBA, I am interested in marketing strategy and brand management.

I am looking at the following schools:

Columbia, NYU, MIT, Chicago, Cornell, Duke, USC, Fordham

I was hoping for an opinion on my candidacy for these schools. I know my GMAT isn't overly impressive, but it does seem often to fall within the 20-80% range. However, I wouldn't want it to prevent me from getting in, especially as I have time to retake it (although I'd prefer not to).

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Paul
