Hey pug! Thanks for the encouragement, but still haven't heard from Owen yet
I knew going into this admission process I would be looking at a middle of the pack schools due to my weak work experience. I am actually okay with going to Simon with $, but Owen and Emory were my top choices so it still always stings a little when you don't get the result you hope for. Looks like I probably needed a little higher GMAT to maybe help make up for my work experience.

Hey. Honestly, if the work experience is weak or short, it may make sense for you to apply again next year. Your GMAT is already above the average at those schools so it should not keep you from getting in. Higher GMAT will help with scholarship money, but probably wont break your app. If you take on some leadership roles in the community and demonstrate good EC's as well as impact at work, you should be in great shape a year from now. A friend of mine actually went to Simon and really did not enjoy the program. Rochester is quite far from everything. My call from Owen came a month ago and my portal still isn't even updated so there is hope for you. Fingers are crossed!

I'm right with you, I think. Emory, Boston, and Vandy were my top choices however I feel like my work experience (3.5 years) and not amazing test scores are hurting me. If Vanderbilt doesn't hold up, I'll probably try again next year.
This wait is killing me today. I think it's safe to assume that no one else has heard back yet?
, but the woman who called me to inform the offer told me about the scholarship as well.
