Hi Linda!
Could you please evaluate my chances? And if I am competitive, what would be the min. GMAT that I should apply with? 680? 690? I feel like my range is 660-730 but I don't really want to take it too many times...
- B.Architecture Univ. of Toronto. GPA 3.3
- Studied abroad in Nice, France, travelled to to 11 countries and 40 cities throughout Europe in undergrad
- f-t exp: Intern Architect/designer--4 years
- currently in lead role as designer on new building for University of Michigan Walgreen Drama School & Arthur Miller Theater, Ann Arbor, Mich. ($35 mil.-under construction)
- Previous projects with significant design responsibilities:
- National Ballet School of Canada, Toronto ($90mill)- completed 2005
- Hewlett-Packard Science & Technology Institute, Centennial College,Toronto, 2004($65 million)
Both the Ballet School and HP Institute have been critically acclaimed and have won design awards.
- I have excellent recommendations from two principals of the firm who have both taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
-my undergrad. summer w. exp (all in Toronto) includes working in a small architecture firm managing all aspects of the practice, and a large international firm working on arch. competitions in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Germany.
- AWARDS: U of T Scholarship, 2nd Place in Metro Toronto Violin Competition, numerous pre-university art and writing awards (do these really count?)
- XCUR- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Assistant Instructor and submission grappling competitor.
THANKS

You certainly have impressive qualifications for any school, but where do you want to apply. What do you want to do after b-school?
Regarding the GMAT. Just prepare, go in, and do the best you can with it. Then if you get a low score, we can discuss whether you should retake.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot Linda for your reply!
I am aiming for HBS, Columbia, Wharton, maybe Stanford. My post-MBA intentions are to practice as both an architect and developer. I will be completing my licensure requirements by next summer which will allow me to practice as an architect both in the U.S. and Canada. I feel that acquiring an MBA from an elite school will enable me to enter the real estate development world much easier and get me closer to my ultimate dream of both designing and developing sustainable buildings. I understand that this would also entail suspending my architectural career for a couple of years, but I feel that doing an MBA would get me into the right business network which would otherwise be impossible to break into as a young architect. The plan would be to work in the real estate industry for a couple of years after my MBA, (mainly to pay off the humongous tuition debt) and then go from there, ideally starting my own architecture and development firm. I don't know if this is at all plausible or practical, but it's something to shoot for. I will be writing my GMAT in a couple of weeks. I will let you know how things went...thanks again!
