Dear sravya,

You need to score well on the GMAT--definitely >650 to present a good foundation in terms of academic aptitude. However, decisions are not made based solely on the GMAT and your GPA. Since the program is new, there are no benchmarks to give you an idea of how competitive your profile is. I think you need to present the best application possible, giving a compelling reason for your admission and hope for the best.

Good luck,
Lisa
