I have my sights set on Fischer at Ohio State. I am interested in the specialized master of science in finance. I took the GMAT today and scored q42, v33. I usually average 47-48 on quantitative and a 28-29 on verbal. I plan to take the GMAT again in one month and i am striving for at least a 680. I struggle the most with data sufficiency questions involving geometry and high level equation questions. In verbal, I struggle with SC and RC.
First, with outstanding essays and recommendations, a 3.38 GPA from undergrad and 1 year work exp with 7 months at Merrill Lynch as a Financial Advisor. Would this and 620 be sufficient for Ohio State or would a 680+ be the only way. If so, does any have a recommended study plan or an online course for one month to raise my verbal 5 points and also make sure i keep quantitative at 47+?
Thanks.

Hi Cdsanders22,

It might be that your application is strong enough as is, but you'd likely get a clearer (and more accurate assessment if you discussed the details with an Admissions Consultant. Some are even offering free short consults.

Obviously, raising your GMAT score will help with the overall application, so if you're on a short time frame, you might consider the EMPOWERgmat course. Check out the free DS Workshop & Quiz; if the style of the Module works for you, then you might consider spending a month with us.

If you have any questions, then feel free to contact me directly.
