1) Do I need to retake my GMAT for a chance in the elites?
2) With my stats, what schools do you recommend if i want to enter the finance sector?
3) What are my chances of an MBA in the ultra elites?
4) Any chances for my application to Wharton, NYU, CMU or UCLB
Apologies for the long list of questions. Thanks in advance.
1) Do I need to retake my GMAT for a chance in the elites?
It wouldn't hurt to retake of course, but you are within a reasonable range for elites or ultra elites. If you think you can crack 700 with a retake, I'd spend the money to do it. If you think you risk getting a 680 again, I wouldn't.
2) With my stats, what schools do you recommend if i want to enter the finance sector?
Obviously, GSB, Wharton would be good choices. The GMAT's a little low on this front, but your GPA is fine, and you have military experience, which for some reason, the schools seem to love.
3) What are my chances of an MBA in the ultra elites?
Really hard to say without knowing a bit more about you.
4) Any chances for my application to Wharton, NYU, CMU or UCLB
Again, hard to say..
Sorry I couldnt be more help.
close
