Hi Stacy

Question on gmat and ad commit - once app is received and lets say GMAT score is low 500's/early 600's and your app is going to stanford, will they dismiss it right away based on the scores or will they still look at entire app to determine if it can go anywhere?

I am trying to understand if one variable is not so hot, does the app get thrown out instantly for good schools.

Many thanks

They will evaluate the whole application. There really is no cut off. BUT, other variables will have to be very strong to be successful at a school like Stanford with a low 500 GMAT.

I'll give you the non-pc answer. If your gmat score is low 500 and your family isn't worth a couple of million dollars, your application will go in the garbage.

"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."
