2+2 Program & Questions about Admission Consulting

[juyau800]

Hello

I want to apply for the 2+2 Program this year.
I have a GPA of 4.0 from a lower-rank Ivy League School,
but my GMAT is just 640.
What do you think of my chance will be?

Also,
Online I see many admission consulting services.
But they are very expensive,
but do you think it's worth it???
If they do, which one is the best one?

THANKS A LOT

Dear juyau800,

Based on the profile of the inaugural 2+2 class, I think your GMAT places you at a disadvantage. While there is always a chance you could gain admission, I think you should retake the GMAT and try to raise your score closer to a 700. An admissions consultant might be worth it if you feel you need some help with your essays, interview preparation, and overall presentation in your application. There are many services out there at different price points, so I encourage you to do your research.

Good luck,
Lisa
