Hi-- I took the GMAT for the first time and scored a 710 (48Q, 40V). I graduated from a top 50 private university with a 3.2 gpa, worked in at a big 4 accounting firm for 2.5 years (obtained senior title), and now work in finance at a large media company (have only been there 6 months). The only schools I am interested in applying to are NYU, Columbia, MIT, and maybe Harvard (although I imagine that's a huge stretch). Do I have ANY chance of getting into these schools or should I take the test again? I feel like my score was on the low end of what I could have gotten-- on my last 4 practices tests (
MGMAT and GMATPrep) I scored between 720-740.
I'm worried about my low gpa and lack of work experience (only 3 years). Does being a female who wants to concentrate in finance help at all? Does the CPA help?
Thanks for the advice!
