Profile Evaluation

Dear Great,

I think you should retake your GMAT and try to increase your score at least 50 points. Perhaps you can work on the applications at the same time so you will not delay your applications? You want to be at or above the schools' GMAT average if you can to be in the best position.

Good luck,
Lisa

Congratulations on your new score! A 50 point increase is hard to get. However, your GMAT score is still below the average for your target schools. Since decisions aren't made on GMAT alone, you need to evaluate how you feel the rest of your application will stack up against the competition. Based on what you posted, you have a competitive GPA and solid work experience. What makes the difference for any applicant is how well you put your application together. It is imperative you present a strong rationale for why you want a MBA, how it fits into your overall career plan, and why the school you are applying to is a good match for you. Likewise, you must distinguish yourself from the competition and demonstrate successful leadership experiences/evidence of leadership potential. If you believe you can submit a strong application, then I think you should apply to your schools and see what happens.

Good luck,
Lisa
