I am hoping to break a 700 on my second GMAT try (first try 650) because I am aiming for a top 10 school.
However, I am curious on how much of a chance you think I have with my current stats, assuming my GMAT will go up a bit (or if it doesn't should I even bother applying?). Again, I am almost positive I can get a 670-680 on my next GMAT and [/i]should get 700+.
- GPA, major, school
3.6 GPA / 4.0 Major
Economics major with mathematics minor
University of Massachusets at Amherst
- GMAT with breakdown
Q: 44/73%
V: 35/76%
Total: 650/83%
AWA: 5
- resume highlights, including company name, job titles and promotions
Analyst and top Economic Consulting firm
I have been consistently promoted (annual) and given salary raises (semi-annual)
Basic repsonsibilities building quantitative models and performing econometric analysis relating to securities and finance litigation.
Heavily involved in recruiting and training of new hires
Managed projects will little supervison from director
I expect to have excellent recommendations
- extracurricular involvements
Recent: Participated in Everybody Wins Powerlunch program. I read to a 5th grader during lunch once a week for a school year; New York Cares volunteer
College: volunteered at Amherst Youth Center to help foster care youths, vice president of dormitory
- awards, patents, publications, etc...
None
- interesting personal facts - countries lived in, challenges faced, unusual interests
One of my weakness. I was born and raised in NYC, attented NYC public school.
I am curious if for some reason I can't get my GMAT passed 700, if I should bother applying. My top choices are NYU and Columbia. I am comfortable with my background if I get a 700. What about if I go in with a 650? 680?
