Profile Evaluation

by rockthegmat11 » Thu Feb 19, 2009 1:29 pm
Hey I was wondering whether I would be a successful candidate for Stern's Langone program this fall.

Here's my profile:
Major: Electrical Engineering
Degree(s): BS/MS (dual degree)
GPA: combined ... 3.36 (that's the "official" bs/ms gpa ... there's not a separate one for each)
Extracurricular Activities: community service in local hospital for 3 months (freshmen yr), volunteered at 2 robotics competitions, member of VOICE and DISHA (multicultural organizations), participated in 3 intramural table tennis contests, showed initiative to start a table tennis club, member of the Penoni Honors College (graduated with honors), member of IEEE, and I also led my senior design team.
Work Experience: graduated in 2008 ... working since July. Have 2 internships as well.
GMAT: taking it in mid march ... [b]any target score that you would suggest[/b], provided that the rest of the application is immaculate?
Also, if I get one of your comprehensive packages, do I have to meet up with the head consultant in person? Or is it strictly over the phone?

Thanks a lot.

I am hoping to get around 700 on the GMAT ... do you think it is safe, assuming that the rest of the application is great? Again, please do let me know about your comprehensive package ...

Hi R,
Thanks for your post. Overall you have a strong background. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with the Stern program mentioned, but I would encourage you to contact Veritas Prep directly and they can provide you with more detailed information and set you up to speak with a consultant who specialises in Stern.

Our contact information is below.

Regards,
