Worked for 3 years in internal restructuring consulting. Short term: IB, long term: private equity. Not doing too well on the Gmat so I opted for the EA for NYU and Stern and thinking about retaking it for LBS.

EA should hopefully allow to skirt the scrutiny with your score impacting the rankings, so a good choice frankly, now that GRE is starting to become a part of the rankings.

Not biggest fan of going to LBS unless you are planning to stay and work in London. I had a cousin go there and granted that it was during a bad time (during COVID) and that impacted his experience, and he changed his plans but going to school in London did impact his recruiting in the US and made it tougher from the network perspective. So, not a fault of LBS's but something to be aware of if you are going to recruit remotely.

Thank you! Do you believe 154 is a good EA score for NYU and Columbia?

22 Oct 2023, 20:27
There are 2 ways to look at it:
1) 154 is about 78th percentile. These are top 10 schools so you want to be in the top 10%.
2) There are not that many people applying with EA scores so the score likely does not matter a whole lot as they won't be able to compare you to another applicant. This will mean the rest of your application will have to pull and be better than other folks and your EA will be ignored as long as your undergrad GPA is solid (which it is) and your work performance is solid as well.

They definitely have a good reason to ding you if they want but if they like your profile, the score won't be a barrier to admissions.

Following up here! Also looking at Columbia and NYU and just got a 155 on the EA. Did they question your score at all or ask you go to back and take the EA again upon applying and doing the interviews?

Nope no questions about the EA but they don’t provide individual feedback. I was immediately accepted into NYU and accepted into CBS after being WL with interview (but I didn’t take the EA again)

I am hoping that you went in well prepared in a Round 3 application with your work experience and GMAT score being much lower than what Stern typically seeks from international candidates. Best wishes for your effort. - Dee (MBA admissions consultant & management consultant)

As a Digital Consultant at a prominent engineering firm in the Australasia region, I've played a pivotal role in streamlining operations and fostering innovation. With a background in Civil Engineering from a reputable university, I've leveraged my skills to introduce automation tools, saving significant time and resources for my team. This success led me to transition into a more strategic role within the digital division, where I oversee the development of efficient workflows for complex design projects.


Recognizing the need for continuous improvement, I took on the challenge of establishing an Innovation Champion role within the company, focusing on enhancing commercial awareness and negotiation skills. Currently, I am pursuing an advanced degree in business administration to further refine these abilities and contribute more effectively to strategic decision-making processes.

Throughout my career, I've contributed to projects valued at substantial amounts, showcasing a strong commitment to data-driven methodologies. Looking ahead, my goal is to delve deeper into early-stage strategy formulation and project decision-making to drive even greater impact and value creation.
