A low GMAT score does not automatically end your MBA admission chances. Every year, top business schools admit candidates whose GMAT scores fall below the class average — not because the score doesn’t matter, but because the rest of the application....

Hey Linda,
I have a question for you. Just how important are first impressions at admissions networking events? I went to an event for NYU tonight and I met a nice girl at the meeting. We both were asking questions to the director of admission at NYU. I ended up telling her that I didn't have the best interaction with the admissions director at USC. She was kinda of cold and distant and said some really discouraging things. The director heard and his tone was a bit sarcastic by saying to me, "I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, but the admissions directors at USC are nice and good friends of mines." I felt so dumb. I guess I was speaking too loud and he ended up not giving me his card. I wasn't trying to sound too nasty, but that was my honest opinion and I encouraged the girl to apply and visit with a completely open mind. I guess I was so happy to meet another minority female to b-school that I got a little too open too soon I feel sick thinking about it. I hope that he doesn't think that I'm a douche...I made a mistake and I have learned from it, big time!

Calliegrl03,
Sounds like the NYU adcom overreacted to your comments, but that's water under the bridge. He may have disliked your comment but he is unlikely to make a mental note of your name so he can later ding you for saying nasty things about his friends. Did you give him your card or resume? I would not worry too much about. Adcoms see much less becoming behavior in applicants than your comment. I doubt he will hold it against you, or even remember that you said it. Just don't do it again.
Good luck,

Thanks so much, Paul! I hope that's true, I mean he's like the top director. Anyhoo, another admissions director whom I met about two months remembered me at a Consortium event last week. We had a great interaction both times... I don't know, I guess I made a good impression. I got her card and we have emailed. I wonder if that's a good sign. I'm such a newbie with B-school process.
