Thanks in advance for any help here!
I just took the GMAT and scored a 690. I was a bit disappointed as this score was under my last two practice exams (700 and 720).
I will be entering UC Berkeley Law School in the fall and I will be applying to the joint JD/MBA program with Haas.
I'd really like to avoid taking the GMAT again (I have a full time job) so I would appreciate any thoughts or advice on my chances for Haas (I'm really dedicated to going there). I know my GMAT is on the low end for Haas, but I'm hoping that the rest of my profile is strong enough to balance this.
Here is some more info on my profile:
GMAT: 690
GPA: 3.73 at UCLA (degrees in Afro-American Studies and Political Science, with three quarters of calculus)
Work Experience: I think this is my strongest asset. In 2006, I started (and currently direct) an internationally recognized non-profit organization that addresses socially responsible investing and corporate responsibility in conflict zones. I have been published in a number of major publications, twice served as an expert witness for Congress, and would have strong letters of recommendation. I've also recently started a small for-profit business on the side.
Extracurricular: Most of my extracurricular activity have centered around my non-profit work (which started as a extracurricular during my undergraduate years and become a career after graduation).
