I want to apply for Haas and Stanford business school fall' 09. Can you please advice if have any chance. I already have acceptance from SCU (Leavey school of business) but i want to invest my time and money, so i wanted to get this advice from you. Please advice

I have BS in Computer Science and Engineering from India with GPA of 4.0(US evaluation) and MS in Electrical engineering from San Jose State University with GPA of 3.7. My GMAT is just 570 (Q48;V22).
I have 44 months of work experience in Electrical engineering, lot of quant work and interaction with people. With usual work i organized and managed many teams. I am always involved with extra curricular activities as below:

1. IEEE secretary during all of my school time
2. Wrote editorial for local regional new papers
3. Organized and Managed many regional events in bay area
4. Very active in sports
5. Organized one club during my school and now has around 30 members

I want to get into technical marketing because all my experience is in Tech and also i have BS and MS in Engineering.

What do you think of my chances for these schools.

I think your verbal score is going to keep you out of these programs. For you to even have a chance at these schools, you would need a much higher GMAT.

Thanks for evaluation

I am asking this because i have gone through lots of posts saying good schools won't look just at your GMAT or GPA alone but your whole personality.

what do you think.

They will look at it all and in a competitive process where Haas and Stanford demand strong English skills and have applicants with average total GMAT scores over 100 points above your, I predict they will decide to accept the applicants with significantly higher GMAT scores. For more on this topic, please see The GMAT in MBA Admissions.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
