GMAT Score:630
by odannyboi » Mon Dec 06, 2010 10:52 am
I have a 630 and a ~3.1 GPA with great resume and story. I was considering ASU as my reach school... but I would love for it to be my top (entrepreneurship plus sustainability is an awesome offering from the school.. UoA also offers this). The Average GPA is 3.3 and the average GMAT is 672 at ASU.

Would they look at my experience to help offset the below average gpa and gmat? Both are in the 80% range but near the tail end. ASU looks like a school hell bent on getting high GMAT score averages and GPA as witnessed by the verbage on the website.

Thanks!

i would say to just go for it. I am 70-80 pts under the average for one of my schools, but I applied anyway and I ended up gaining both admissions as well as scholarship money

If the average GPA is a 3.3 then Im sure you're within the 80% range, unless the Std Dev is just very very small. So you should DEFINITELY apply!
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
