Hi abby17,

Thanks for posting. Regarding the schools you have listed, my concern is that your GMAT score is below many of the program averages. If you decide to take the test again in the future, remember that your highest score is self-reported on your application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score.

I do not know much about your work experience, but it will be important to highlight and leadership and management experience you have. This is particularly important for admissions teams at top MBA programs.

Here is some school specific advice for the programs listed:

LBS: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... ss-school/
Cornell: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... l-johnson/
Duke: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... uke-fuqua/

We also offer free 30 minute phone consultations here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
