If you fall under the schools 80% GMAT range 590 to 700ish is applying still a good idea if you feel like your a solid candidate irreguardless?

I graduated from Michigan State with a 3.2 in Economics. I have 8 years of experience with GM. I have a master's degree in Manufacturing Operations from Kettering University (3.6). I am trying to get into the Michigan part time program. I just took my first GMAT last Sat and got a 550. I did well on all my math and stats classes in undergrad/grad. I have clear goals and expectations and have done plenty of community service.

I plan to retake the GMAT soon (Feb). I want to apply to Michigan in May. I have 4 months to nail my GMAT and write my essays. Can anyone give me some advise? Should I apply irreguardless of GMAT and see what they say? They do streamline apps if you re-apply. So I suppose that they could just tell me to raise the GMAT and re-apply with a streamlined app the second time around if they were intrested?



Thanks

Hi TMT,

Many applicants are disappointed with their first GMAT score and are able to raise it substantially. With 4 months you should be able to improve your application.

GMAT score is not the entire measure of an applicant, the process is holistic. That being said, if you fall below the 80% range, that likely means only about 10% of admitted students had GMAT scores in that area. A strong GPA can help, and other indications of academic promise. Some people are just poor test takers, and there are always exceptional candidates who are accepted despite low scores. You should just be aware that the chances are not high and manage your expectations.

Good luck!
