Hi MBAitiss,
Sorry to read tht.. Good luck for other schools
To everyone in this thread:
I too am applying to Boston, but my profile isn't really great by usual standards- my GMAT is 660 (49Q, 31V) and GPA is 3.4. TOEFL is 117, am a mechanical engineer, Work Exp- managerial- Automotive major, 2.5 years... do u sense an accept in any way? I have worked in 2-3 profiles and have worked from Sales, SCM to Business dev (present).
Some insight from ur experience on application essays would be very welcome.
Thanks.
One can never really say how good or bad the chances are based on the basic profile. However, a good way to assess whether it's realistic to app is to check how you figure with respect to the school's average & median 80% GMAT score & Work Ex.
Here's the stats for BU:
- Average GMAT: 683
- Median 80% GMAT Range: 620-740
- Average Work Ex: 4.9 yrs
- Median 80% Work Ex. Range: 2.5-7.5 yrs
Your GMAT & Work Exp, are below the average, but within the 80% range. So, while you've got your work cut out, you still have a reasonable chance of getting in.
