Hi,
I was wondering if someone could kindly give me an assessment of how high my GMAT would need to be, to have realistic chances to get into my dream universities.
I am a 30 year old female, growing up in Europe, with dual citizenship (European/ American).
I have a bachelor in Sociology (GPA ~ 3.5 - I am not 100% on this atm, as the European grading system is different) and a Masters degree in Media & Communication Management (GPA 4.0) which I have graduated as best student of the year.
Since then I have gained work experience (1.5 years) as Communication Specialist in a pretty big (>2500 employees), global and rather well known company.
For the past 5 years, I have been working as a Project Manager at said company. I have been managing many global projects, across functions and regions.
I have been joining different trainings and classes to develop further.
I have been doing volunteer work for +3 years, working with a refugee organisation to facilitate the refugee kids' integration, teaching them English and the local language as well as supporting them with paper work/ bureaucracy.
My last gmat try was a mere 610 points, so I was wondering how much higher my score needs to get, to have realistic chances for universities such as ESADE, NYU and Columbia?
Thank you very much for an assessment and an answer in advance,
best, Vio

Hi Vio (@Violith):
Appreciate the post!
The recommended GMAT "threshold" for these three schools is slightly different:
ESADe: 680
NYU: 700
Columbia: 730
Those are not at all hard rules. The GMAT is just one factor in your overall application and there is some wiggle room depending on the candidate. You look like a strong candidate on paper, but I advise trying to achieve those scores for those respective schools if you want the GMAT to be a solid checkmark for you.
Good luck,
Admissionado
