Hi,

I have 3.35 GPA from a top school (including quant courses), a 660 gmat (Q42, V38), and have worked for the past couple of years in a specialized finance capacity. I also have a number of extra-curricular activities, which include leadership roles.

I know it may be difficult to judge based on this brief information, but with a good application, would Duke(Fuqua) be within my range?

I am primarily concerned about a relatively low gmat score.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hello,

It's a gray area - I wouldn't say that GMAT puts you out of range completely. It's good enough that it won't cause the adcom to question your abilities but on the other hand your application will need to be really strong and compelling to give them a good reason to overlook it. Luckily, it's just at the level where they could overlook it if given sufficient reason.

Best regards,
