Thank you for sharing your profile, @aholder56! The GRE score is below Wharton’s average(around 324-326+). While GRE is just one part of the puzzle, at M7 schools like Wharton, test scores are an important data point to help mitigate GPA or academic concerns. If there's time, consider retaking the GRE to aim for a 325+ (especially to improve Quant) to be more competitive. 3.1 GPA is a concern. However, if you can present a strong upward trajectory, a difficult course load, or extenuating circumstances, it can be mitigated, especially with a higher GRE and a strong professional track record.

We’d love to learn more about your extracurricular involvement, professional experience, and personal journey so we can offer a more tailored assessment of your profile and evaluate your chances at your target school more accurately. If you'd like, feel free to book a profile evaluation session.

Cheers!
