Hello,

From the information you've provided I consider your target schools to represent a good range of reasonable reaches (e.g., Anderson, ISB) and on-pars (e.g., Texas, Johnson). You appear to be a well-rounded applicant and with great applications should see some admits to your selected schools.

Cindy,

Thanks a lot for the reply . I was like waiting so eagerly. Thanks a ton.


I forgot to mention that I took my first attempt just a month ago and got a score of 560 and retook it as I thought 560 doesnt define me and got 700 in the second attempt. Will that have a negative impact ?


Appreciate all the help!

Shweta,

Congratulations on the huge improvement in the GMAT! Having taken it 2x and gotten the 700 on the second try, I think that will be fine and not cause a problem.

Best regards,
Cindy

Thanks Cindy for all the help.
