3.84 GPA (Ivy); GRE [Q:163, V:165], Enough? [#permalink]

19 Oct 2012, 12:01

I decided to go the GRE route, which I know is risky (since I am having trouble finding any substantial data out there)

UGPA: 3.84 from an ivy
GRE: Q:163, v:165
Work experience: Currently have 2 years experience [would be 3 if I enter next year, or 4 the following year] at large companies in sports/publishing

I'm mainly interested in Sloan/CBS/Yale. Do I have a shot if I applied R2 this year, or should I wait until R1 next year? Any other advice for a GRE applicant would be helpful!

Thanks!

Hi clint845,

Thanks for posting. Regarding your application, I don't know enough about your background, but your numbers make you a strong candidate. One thing that is important to remember is that all of the reasons why a top program would admit you are in the details of your work experience, personal experiences, personality, values and overall story. Admissions teams are also not just looking for years of experience, but rather what you were able to do within those years.

If you'd like, we provide free 30 minute phone consultations here: http://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/

We also have school specific advice here:

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
