Hi,

Thanks for your post. While MPA programs evaluate applicants differently than MBA programs, the GMAT is still a great way for the adcom to get a sense of a candidates academic potential. In particular, UT Austin stresses the importance of a high GMAT score.

While your GMAT score is a bit below average for the schools on your list, you can certainly compensate help for this with your solid undergraduate GPA (in particular if you took and did well in accounting and other quantitative courses). Without knowing the other details of your background and profile, I'm unable to offer you additional advice in regard to strengthening your application.

Regards,

Stacey
