MSGMAT,

Thanks for your note. While the GMAT score is only one of several elements of your admissions profile, I worry that your 650 GMAT score will make it difficult for you to be a competitive candidate at top schools like Insead, Kellogg and NYU. I would either retake the test and get a 700+ score or I would expand your school list.

Even with a higher GMAT score, you will need to stand out from the other bankers applying - be sure to highlight your leadership and impact at work. Ideally you would also take steps to bolster your extracurricular activities.

Sincerely,

Eliot Ingram
