What are my chances?

by g123456 » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:09 am
Hey!
I wanted to know what my chances are to get into
Harvard, Columbia or NYU.

I graduated with a 3.512 GPA from Emory University with a
BA in Economics w/ minor in Theater Studies.

I took a break from college though in my Junior Year and moved to India to pursue
acting in film.
While I was there I acted in commercials, music videos, and a feature film as the lead.
I also co-produced a feature film.

After moving back to the states, I finished college and started working
as an SEO analyst and Web Designer.

And I just scored a 680 on the GMAT.
I was wondering what my chances were at the 3 schools I listed.


Thanks!

Dear g123456,

It is hard to comment as I am not sure if you are talking about applying to these programs now for entry this fall, making your application a late round application. Or, if you are talking about applying this fall in an early round for entry in fall 2012. Likewise, you neither indicate how long you have been working as an SEO analyst and Web Designer nor what your goals are after the MBA program. Without more information, it is difficult to comment on your chances at highly selective programs like HBS, Columbia and NYU. Your GPA and GMAT are in a competitive range, and your time in India is interesting and unique--so these are assets to your application. Happy to comment more fully if you provide further information.

Regards,
Lisa
