Hi,

Thanks for your post. After reviewing your profile it's clear to me that your work experience and extracurricular activities are the strongest elements of your profile. However, you are part of a very large applicant pool, and your GMAT score is below average not just at the schools on your list, but also as compared to your peers in the pool. The best advice I can give you at this time is to focus your time and energy on studying for and retaking the GMAT. Breaking the 700 threshold will prevent your academics from becoming a liability and will likely make you a bit more competitive for admission at the schools on your list.

Best of luck,

Stacey
