My chances?

by xjackx » Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:42 am
Hi,

I took my GMAT 2 weeks ago and obtained the following:-

V 39(87%)
Q 28(24%)
O 560 (54%)
AWA 5.5/6.0(80%)
I have a undergrad GPA of 3.0/4.0 in political science and economics from a German University.
I have 2 years work experience as both a project finance consultant and quality management consultant.

As you can tell I never performed well on the GMAT. I mostly blame myself since I basically winged it, had no preparation. I however had chosen to apply to the below listed schools and am wondering if its worth going ahead with the application process, or should I just resit the GMAT and think of applying when my scores are up to par?


University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill - Kenan-Flagler Business School - MBA, Full Time


University of Michigan - Ann Arbor - Stephen M. Ross School of Business - MBA, Full Time

University of Virginia - Darden School of Business - MBA, Full Time

Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business - MBA, Full Time

Thanks.

Dear xjackx,

For the list of schools you provided, you will need to retake the GMAT and raise your score at least 100 points to be in range. If you do not feel that is realistic, then I would suggest doing some more research on schools and coming up with a new list. To be in range for any program, you want your GMAT to be within the mid-80% range, and to be most competitive, your GMAT needs to be above the GMAT average.

Good luck,
Lisa
