TonyAP,

Your GPA and alumni status do help, and if your GMAT was within spitting distance of Ohio State's averages, they -- together with your great professional profile -- might put you over the top, especially if you happen to be an underrepresented minority. I don't know what your Q versus V breakdown was, but either way your score is significantly off their mean, so your odds are probably small. By all means, give it a try, but also consider retaking the GMAT and using a professional prep service if you haven't before.

Hope this helps,

"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."
