Hello rij458, thanks for your question. You are targeting the top schools in the world, so it’s hard to handicap your chances, especially without a GMAT score. In terms of GMAT, for top programs I typically recommend an overall GMAT score of 700+, with verbal and quantitative scores of 80%+. Of co...

Hello Mohaned, thanks for your question. It’s hard to handicap odds on these things! I’ll give you my best feedback. I think your GPA is slightly low, but not an insurmountable obstacle! Was there an extraordinary circumstance that caused your low mark? Did your GPA rise as you progressed throug...

Hello Amil, thanks for your question. One question for you: did you clear 80% on both quantitative and qualitative sides of the GMAT? You come from perhaps the most competitive demographic in that respect, as you probably are already aware. To answer your question about application highlights, right...

Hello chris558, thanks for your question. I think you have a good handle on what you need to work on! Your low quant GMAT score, low GPA, and extracurriculars could all be obstacles. I think Columbia would be a reach for you. Your advantage: you’re young and can mitigate some of these factors. For...

Hello myst_ari, thanks for your question. It’s a tough question about the GMAT, but let me ask you: how much prep did you do for your 2nd attempt? If you did an extensive amount, then you might not be able to raise your score much more. If you did not, then there is a higher upside to taking the t...

Hello harianirav, thanks for your question. My main question to you centers on need. Since you already have an MBA in operations, why exactly do you need a Masters in Supply Chain and Logistics? I am more familiar with MBA programs than with this kind of master’s program, so I encourage you to spe...

Hello arpan81, thanks for your question. The big question I have for you is: In pursuing your career goals, what would a second MBA give you that your first one would not? I think any admissions committee would want to know this. Second, I am not sure that every program accepts applications from can...

Hello ertw83, thanks for your question. Your GMAT should be fine. Your quant score is slightly lower than the typical 80% I recommend for top schools, but your engineering degree should mitigate that. Your GPA is on the low side. Was there an extraordinary circumstance that caused your low marks? Di...

Hello OptimisticApplicant, thanks for your question. I do think HBS and Sloan could be reaches for you; I think you could be competitive at Babson. Your GPA is a surmountable obstacle if you frame the circumstances in an optional essay and because of your other academic performance and GMAT. If you ...

Hello georgepaul0071987, thanks for your question. Your GMAT is solid, though I think the verbal score is slightly below the 80% mark I typically recommend for the top programs. This should not be a dealbreaker, though. Ultimately, our competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership...
