So, apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was.
I really want to go to NYU (gmat range 25%tile-75%tile is 650-750, same range for GPA is 3.0-3.8).
I got a 640 on the GMAT, which was incredibly disappointing. I graduated from a very prestigous small liberal arts college with a 3.0. I have worked for three years at a large, well respected investment bank (and have great rec's).
For the sake of argument, lets assume my essays are great.
Any thoughts on my chances? Should I A) apply, B) apply and write my optional essay letting them know that i plan on retaking the GMAT or c) hold off until i do better on the GMAT
THOUGHTS? SUGGESTIONS? do i even have a shot?
Thanks!
