GMAT score for MHA [#permalink] New post   27 Sep 2009, 10:29
Hi,

I had been collecting information about GMAT for past couple of weeks and now I want to start a full blown preparation,actually I am a dentist running my own clinic and having 2yrs of experience but now I want to grow in or out of my profession so I had decided to do MHA(Masters in Healthcare Administration)but I have few questions:-

1)What kind of GMAT score I should be targeting (lowest and uppermost scores) to get into a university like Texas State University in San Marcos or University of Oklahoma.........or may be some else which you can recommend .........take in to consideration I have a GPA less then 3 which is quite frustrating.

2)Will the universities high on ranking then the above mentioned universities accept me ?

3)Does MHA program also needs high Quant.Scores as compared to its MBA counterpart? and if it does then what is the range..?

Thanx.

coolsammy35,

You'll need about a 600 GMAT score for U. of Oklahoma and probably higher, given your GPA. I don't have data on TSU San Marcos (did you check their website?), but my guess is you could get by with a lower GMAT there. Regarding your second question, it depends on which highly ranked schools you're referring to. In general, given your GPA, for schools in the top 15-20 (Business Week) you should be aiming for a GMAT above 700.

Regarding quant requirements of the MHA programs, I'm sure it depends on the program, but if the degree is offered through the business school, then my guess is they would have the same expectations for the MHA quant score as for their regular MBA program. Keep in mind that more and more business schools (well over 200 now) are accepting GRE scores in lieu of GMAT scores. So if you haven't taken the GMAT yet, and think you could do better on the GRE, consider taking that instead.

Good luck,

Thanx for the reply .....

Undoubtedly you have stirred the pot and mixed a very spicy ingredient GRE and made my head go Topsy Turvy.

Please let me know that will it be feasible to go for GRE considering the fact that I will not be applying to any other graduate course...??

Will it not decrease my credibility,because the admission dept. might think that I am not serious about MHA and along with applying to other courses I had applied to MHA also because MHA is also related to administration like MBA...so had I been serious I should had appeared for GMAT...????

And how much do I need to score in GRE to get to a decent college.......?????

coolsammy35,

If you haven't taken the GMAT before, many schools will accept a GRE score (which ones you need to research) in order to attract non-traditional applicants. You seem to be one of those. At these schools that do accept GRE scores, there will be no stigma attached to your taking the GRE test rather than the GMAT test. As for which GRE scores you need, it will depend on the selectivity of each school. If you'd like me to research that for your particular schools, we need to get on a consultant-client basis. My email address is pbodine@accepted.com.

Good luck,
