Just took the GMAT today. Scored a 680. I'm likely going to retake, but I'm a realist so I know I could score the same or lower.

I'm wondering what my realistic chances are at the following schools with my current GMAT score: Haas, Columbia, Stern, Dartmouth, Cornell, Yale, UCLA, Tepper

Information about me:

Ethnicity: Black
Gender: Female
Age at application: 27
Undergrad GPA: 3.17 in Bachelor of Science for Business Administration
Law School: GPA is not on a 4.0 scale. Top third of law school class.
Work Experience: Licensed Attorney in California. At the time of application, I will have 3 years of sales and account management experience. 2 years as an account executive. 1 year in as a regional manager with a different company. I also take on a few family law cases each year pro bono.

Thank you for your time!

Hi bml1105,

Thanks for your post. In regards to the GMAT, for the programs you are applying to we would recommend you take the GMAT again. One thing that is important to remember is that in your business school application, your highest GMAT score is self-reported. For this reason, admissions teams focus on your best score, and there isn't any harm in taking the test again. Most of the programs you are considering would like to see a GMAT score of at least 700.

I hope the above is of help.

Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

"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."
