Work Experience: 14 months full time at time of enrollment. -
3 years part time during college
2 summer internships in India (With large MNC's)
Extra Curricular: Club Sports in College. Executive board of student organizations. Volunteer work

I am going to apply to

Reach:

Boston University
Babson

Rest:

Northeastern University
Bentley University
CUNY Barch

Im worried that my lack of work experience and my 2.9 GPA will hurt my chances?

I would appreciate any feedback on my chances!

pp8kid,

I think your are correct to call BU a "reach." Your GMAT is 40 points below their mean, your GPA is a half point below their mean, and BU's average work experience is 5 years, so your odds are not good. Babson may be more doable, since their average GPA and GMAT are in line with (and even lower than) yours. However, their 5-year average work experience may be an obstacle for you.

Northeastern is definitely more likely, however, since its average work experience is only 3 years--they are clearly youth friendly.

You should have no trouble at Bentley and Pace (only 2 years avg. work experience and a 590 / 554 avg. GMATs). Though CUNY Baruch, Fordham, and Suffolk all have avg. work experience of 4-5 years, your GMAT is so much higher than their average that will likely admit you with open arms.

Good luck,

"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."
