I am considering applying to Thunderbird School of Global Management. I have a 540 GMAT score. I want to know whether I have a realistic chance of getting in there. The admissions representative of the school seems very interested in me making an application for the accelerated full time MBA. My undergrad grade was first class with distinction. I am from India. I want to know that is this a ploy to get the application fees VIZ $125 or am I a really good student. Your opinion please !!! Thanks

Also I want to know whether a accelerated MBA(full time) MBA is as good as a traditional MBA(full time)

Hi Prateek29,

I recommend you take the GMAT test again. Remember that your highest GMAT score is self-reported on application, so admissions teams will focus on your best score. Your score is around 70 points below the program's average.

If you decide to take the GMAT again, here is a free resource we provide: https://www.stacyblackman.com/gmat-overview/
