Dear MBA2009-2011,

Honestly, these schools are all stretch schools for you at a 650 and many at a 680. All of these schools have GMAT averages at or above a 680, most over a 700. While you appear to have a great GPA and strong work experience, you will be facing fierce competition this year and it is probable many will have a similar profile to yours.

In addition to retaking the GMAT, I think it is important for you to put together a compelling set of essays, outstanding recommendations and a great interview. Additionally, I would suggest adding 1-2 safety schools to the mix. You might end up at one of your top choices, but it is always good to have alternatives if you want to be in business school next fall.

Good luck,
Lisa
