OK, so I'm in at a top 10 law school deferred. However, I would rather attend a business school. I have not taken the GMAT but think I can study to a good score as I got 99% on the LSAT and SAT. I could be wrong on that, and that's not the real point. Here's the deal: basically, law school admissions is all about numbers, whereas B-school is not. My problem is that my math grades in college were a D in Calc 2 (decided to take it due to some misguided notion to "challenge myself" after not taking any math sourses since AP Calc three years before) and a B+ in Accounting. I did pretty well in my econ courses (I was an Econ/English double major), but I'm worried that those two math grades will hold me back even if I do well on the GMAT. What do you guys think about this? I have 1 year good volunteer work with a business angle, and two solid years of managerial work experience (nothing prestigious like consulting or anything, though). What sort of GMAT do I need to get to get into a school like Northwestern, Duke, Michigan, Virginia, Dartmouth, UNC, NYU, Texas, Berkeley, Columbia - the schools I'm particularly interested in. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
