Re: My Chances for Admission? [#permalink]

Thanks for the updates, Juan! It sounds like you've got some solid experiences to bring to the table which will help. Your extracurriculars and community experience could be stronger and more recent, BUT it's still better to have some than none, and campus involvement does show how you would likely be involved at a university setting (such as b-school).
A 710 is in that 'borderline' range.... it certainly CAN be fine if they really LOVE the rest of your application and profile and you stand out from the 'crowd'... but the crowd at 700 give or take is quite large. For MIT, Booth & Kellogg I'd suggest a re-take to potentially move the needle more and there's not a lot to lose by giving the GMAT one more shot! It's just so competitive, and schools like that openly admit they turn away plenty of qualified applicants with good GMAT/ etc each year as they just have to limit their spots etc, so anything that helps improve your profile can be a plus, especially if you feel you COULD do better on quant. Why not give it another shot very soon? There's a margin of error or std deviation on the exam itself; a different mindset and different day and diff q's could have a better result, you never know. ;) Keep us posted and good luck!
