Profile evaluation for top 5 school

by towercourt » Wed Oct 21, 2009 5:37 pm
Hi,

I'm hoping to get an assessment of my chances of getting into a top 5 school.

Below is my profile:

Asian American female
corporate attorney for past few years

GMAT: 740 (Q48, V42)

BA in economics from top 5 liberal arts college
JD from top 10 law school

Undergraduate GPA: 3.75

I'm worried about my quant score since I haven't done much quant-related work since college. Should I take the GMAT again to try and get that part of my score up? I just don't want my quant score to be the reason my application is weak.

Thanks for any advice!

Academically speaking you are in great shape. Your quant score combined with your undergraduate GPA in economics will be enough to assure the adcom that you are capable of handling a rigorous quantitative curriculum.

In addition to your academics, it's important that you round out your application with extracurricular activities, a solid career trajectory and specific reasons for seeking your MBA including your short and long term goals.
