Hello
I'm wondering if I can get some Admissions Consultants' help on my profile. I'm aiming to go to an MBA program this fall but have some glaring weaknesses:
Here's my profile:
Canadian Vietnamese Male/26/ 3.5 years of professional work experience
BA in History from University of Toronto (3.2 GPA)
Parents were refugees, dirt poor upbringing
Finished 2 year leadership rotational program at the country's largest telcom, lots of experience in different departments, good accomplishments and good letters of reco, afterwards have been here for 1.5 years as a Project Manager
Co-founded a non-profit that teaches computers skills to disadvantaged youths, have 50 volunteers, 3 years old and still running, I still volunteer here
Do Dragonboating and photography for fun
But Horrendous Test Scores:
GRE: V570 Q620 AW4.5
GMAT: V32 Q32 AWA6.0 Total 540; wrote twice, same score(!)
Questions:
1) Do you think I have a chance in getting into a Top 20 Business School, or am I just dreaming? I dream of going to HBS, Stanford, Yale, CEIBS, Rotman.
2) Submit GRE or GMAT? I am awful at these tests and just can't do them.
thanks
