I talked to a Yale adcom last week and he said Yale at least doesn't care about where you get your fundamentals, be it comm college, online or whatever.

asdert,

If Cornell told you to raise your GMAT score then unfortunately nothing aside from a stronger GMAT score will really compensate. Did you make the argument in your Cornell application that your standardized test scores and GPA have always been out of synch, i.e., your SAT was average but your GPA was stellar. Sometimes this helps a little, but not much.

Good luck,

Then I guess I'll have to take another shot at the exam. If I can't raise my score then I'll have to attend a school outside of the Top 20. Thanks for your help!
