Well it will be difficult, but I am sure that having a lower than Average GMAT and beyond average work ex without a will to pivot will definitely give them incentive to take you in. I have 2 years of ex and they still reached out to me, so I am sure that the quality of your work ex will definitely work for you.

Hey.. Thanks for your assessment.

But I am sure in admission committee there must be people who must be looking for more than just scores :)

Katz is a clever university
Offering a lot of stuff such as an additional MS degree to add to the MBA.

I got rejected for refusing a dual degree option.

Even though the GMAC assessment test is voluntary , is it a better idea to actually complete it? The reason I'm asking is that there are many questions in the portal which are all most true for me but I have to unwillingly select a most true statement as least true. Is there someone who recieved an admit without the GMAC assessment test? I do not want the adcom to have misunderstandings about my choices. Please help

There is an increasing trend this year in the US with all reputed B-schools converting their MBA into a STEM MBA. Katz does not have a STEM MBA, but if you opt for MBA+MS(MIS), you get a STEM designation that allows you 3 more years of OPT period after you graduate.
The adcom has nothing to do in this. It is beneficial for international students coming to the US.

This is coming from a guy who is currently thanking himself for choosing the MBA+MS(MIS) instead of a 'normal' MBA

You'll get sense of what I am saying when you enroll in any MBA program.

Hi, I just want to add that MBA+Business analytics is also STEM certified.
I feel weird while MBA+MIS is famous among int’ students who want to be eligible for OPT 3 years, not many people know about this MBA+BA program at Katz.
