So far looks pretty good. You have some really GREAT Extra curriculars in college, which will help you out quite a bit. The one obvious point for improvement is the GMAT. You COULD apply with a 630, but you have enough time to retake, so why not give yourself even better chances. I think in your profile it is especially important because your GPA is 3.0, so if you can really just break through with the GMAT, it will help better convince them that you are academically ready to go for an MBA.

Quick update...

Took the GMAT again and got a 640. Thought I was sitting in a good place.
My verbal is 41. However, my quant is a painfully low 36.

I feel good about a 640 but think that the 36 quant will raise flags with admissions. How concerned should I be?

Application deadline is 5/15 so I do not have the option to take the test again.

Thanks!
Ladysmith

Hopefully it will work out for you, and if not, there's always next year!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
