Hi anchorebanks,

Thanks for your post. About your candidacy, nothing about your story makes me think there is any reason why you cannot be admitted, but nothing stands out telling me why you should be admitted. All of the reasons why a top program would admit you are in the details of your work experience, personal experiences, personality, values and overall story.

For some of the programs you are considering, your GMAT score is below the averages. It's important to remember that for your application, your highest GMAT score is self-reported on your exam. For this reason, there is no harm in taking the exam again if you believe you can improve your score, as admissions teams will focus on your best score. If you'd like, MBA.com provides 2 free official practice exams, and we provide free GMAT advice here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/test-prep-hub/
