One of my co-worker's just got a 780 (perfect verbal)...What are his chances of getting into Columbia, LBS, UCLA, or NYU considering the following:
GMAT: 780
GPA: 2.97
W/E: 4 Years in Middle Market Private Equity with great deal experience
Great recs from our Managing Partner and CEO
E/Cs and Community Involvement: None
Applying in all the late rounds
Is he a shoe-in for these schools with a top GMAT despite the fact that he is not well-rounded and is applying so late (he took the GMAT for the first time just days before the APP deadline)?
