Hi there,
I'm hoping you can evaluate my profile.
GPA: 3.1 in Communications, Minor in Marketing, from San Diego State
GMAT: 640 (39V, 39Q)
Work Experience:2 years experience with a well known company. I work in a local office servicing San Diego, so I'm responsible for all parts of marketing (creating local marketing plans, MarComm, copy writing, budgeting, and outreach). I manage a budget of $160K to generate $2.6mil in revenue. I also manage two part-time employees who help with outreach. Although I don't technically have a promotion on record (Assistant Director to Assistant Director), I was originally hired in an operations position and I was moved into marketing after displaying quality work (I consider it a promotion).
My target schools are USC, UT-Austin, and UC Irvine.
Now for my questions:
I'm debating between applying this fall or waiting another year. Do you think I have the necessary work experience to get in if I apply now?
My GMAT score is also lower than all of the target schools above. In my practice, I scored 550, 550, 550, 570, 580, 670, 580. Should I take the test again?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
