Any Chance At UNC? Please Help! [#permalink]

Hi all, So I took the GMAT last weekend and didn't do so hot. I ended up with a 660 and now I'm really worried about my chances at UNC. My UG GPA is around 3.7, but I really wanted to get 700+ on the GMAT because I'm not sure how good my recommendations/work experience will be for the admissions officers. Plus, lots more people are applying to Maccs, so it wouldn't surprise me if I'm below average now for a competitive program like UNC. I've had summer experience every year in undergrad and currently have a job in corp finance at a really, really small company, so do I still have a shot? I'm going to apply before December and try and get my stuff in early. Should I retake the GMAT or can I still get in with my current score? Thanks!

I was expecting 700 or so to be the norm for this masters, which is why I was freaking out. Will being out of state hurt me at all though? I know for undergrad, UNC prefers instate students, so is it the same for masters programs?

There are no mandatory requirements as far as what % of students have to be residents as there are for the undergrad program. I'd say as long as your GMAT is in the ballpark (which it is) a great interview can be a big deciding factor. Your social intelligence plays a huge role in your eventual job search which is one of the ultimate factors for ranking a program.

Probably solid odds. The GMAT could definitely be better, but the GPA is solid and is probably enough to outweigh it if you interviewed well.

My 2 cents:
I got into UNC with a GRE score that has a GMAT equivalent of 640 and my GPA was 3.4, so you have a fair chance.

Well, I did my interview yesterday and I thought it went alright. I'm still super stressed though because I've had so many job interviews where I thought it went well and ended up not working out. I didn't get stumped on any questions and I asked (at least IMO) thoughtful questions so I'm hoping that it works out. From a numbers perspective, I should be OK because my GPA is decent and my GMAT is around average, plus I have lots of work experience and a few leadership positions, but you never know what can happen. Thanks everyone for your help; I'll give a more detailed profile of myself for future applicants/those still waiting if I get in.

One more question actually I guess. After interviewing, how long did it take everyone to hear back from UNC on a decision?
