UCLA FEMBA Possible???

by HFOTSB » Mon May 18, 2009 9:49 pm
Hi All,

I just took the GMAT today and scored a 620 (36M, 38V). I studied for around 3 months but had a pretty lax routine and often took week long breaks. I know I could probably raise my score by studying more and retaking it but I am extremely busy at work and don't know if I can handle the soul destroying GMAT again.

I would like to get into the FEMBA program at UCLA. I have the 620 on the GMAT, a 3.5 GPA and a liberal arts degree from UC Santa Barbara, and have worked for a little over two years in pharmaceutical marketing. I know my GMAT is a bit low but is there a chance I could be accepted. Honest answers and criticism welcome. Thanks

Yes there is a chance, but it would be a lot better if you raised your GMAT.

Best,
Linda

Linda,

Thanks for your honest opinion. I think that I am going to ride with the score that I currently have. I am in Sales and an MBA is only part of the pie towards getting ahead. If UCLA doesnt want me then thats that.

Thanks
