Dear reid007,

With the limited information you posted, I really cannot comment on your chances. You have a strong GPA and will have about 3 years of experience when you start a program, so you are within range on those two measures. A general rule of thumb on the GMAT is to be at or above a school's average to be in the best position. You definitely want to be in the mid-50% range of the GMAT for a solid chance at the school.

Best of luck,
Lisa
