Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a nice profile a little light on the work experience but with good advancement thus far in your career. You should be competitive at all of the schools listed with Emory being the toughest to crack since you are on the bottom end of their 80% GMAT range. Good Luck!

Hi there,

You over all profile seems to be decent, is it possible you to re-take GMAT?
It will be good option to re-take GMAT and then apply for schools.

Regards.

Hey dude!
Actually your profile seems very good. On the EC/Volunteer work side of things especially your profile is better than the average, and the rest looks good too.

And I think you may have a real shot at the schools you list even with your current GMAT.
The only thing is I don't currently yet have enough detail about you and your work experience to really dig deep here Like: where did you graduate from? Do you have any other ECs? What do you actually DO at work? Do you lead any people? did you make any innovations? Do any training recruiting? What have been your greatest achievements? And how has your progress been?

All of this info will be VITAL to figuring out where you might stand!

Hook us up with some more detail about you, and we'll get you a free consultation: https://admissionado.com/free-consultati ... n=mba_blog

Cheers,
Jon

With 2 years of experience, and a 660 GMAT, you might be a bit wanting at some of the options you list here. Also, consulting firms (post-MBA) might be a bit iffy with that GMAT score, as some of them use that as a recruitment criterion as well. Would recommend that you raise the GMAT a bit. Also maybe look at Smeal as another option.

Hi ntbanist19, agree that the 660 GMAT is going to make some of these schools tough and that for consulting the GMAT is still a bigger factor to look at on recruiting side. However, some of these schools your chances are better.
Schools:
Emory
Georgia Tech
Georgia yes in range
Texas A&M in range
Arizona Statepossibility

Profile at time of matriculation:
24 years old
660 GMAT
3.5 GPA
2 yrs. work experience in Transportation/management
2 promotions since graduating from undergrad Impressive and even better if your recommenders substantiate this
Top 20 undergrad degree in Supply Chain Management
