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....

I was wondering what people do with pets in B-school. I have a dog and she is pretty tolerant of being left in the house all day, but I am concerned about internship/travel situations. I know some schools require all first years complete an international project for example, what would I do with her then? Obviously there is boarding, but long term boarding (2 weeks+) is harder to find.

Becky- You might want to look into the student clubs at the schools to which you are applying. For example, Columbia, Wharton and Kellogg all have student clubs for pet owners, which have pet-related events and can serve as pet-sitting resources for times when you need to travel. You may want to contact the student officers of these groups and just chat with them about some of your questions.

Are you from the US? If so that makes it a little easier since you wont have to deal with getting a dog into the country (which can be difficult). I have a dog, and some of my friends had them as well (note many were married or living with a significant other). Its doable, depending on the dog of course. If your pup has issues it can get difficult. One of my friend's dogs had behavior issues and was banned from a few daycare/boarding facilities, and no one would ever volunteer to watch it.
I know some people brought their dog with them on their internships. Boarding can get expensive if you do it a lot, figure 35-45 a day depending on location. Our dog was boarded for a few weeks at a time, places are fine with that but it buts a dent in the wallet if you do it a lot. Its a lot easier to find some place to board your dog than it is to find someone to dog sit at school...everyone is busy and its a burden.
I couldn't imagine leaving my dog but you have to think about whats in the best interests of your dog. I often ran home in the middle of the day to take my dog on a walk (advantage of schools where you can live within a mile of campus). Being married also helped, my wife often dealt with the dog if I had recruiting events at night. There are days you will be on campus with things from 8am until 10pm or later. They are rare but sometimes you dont even know ahead of time you are going to be stuck that long.

). I have used dog walkers in the past to come for a mid-day walk (I feel too guilty if she has to wait an entire work day for a walk). I've already scoped out dog walkers in Bloomington and my plan is to have them come 1-2x a day Mon-Fri during the regular academic weeks, and like lots of professional dog walkers, have options when you are away for some time. You can have them come 3-4x a day to walk your dog, feed them, etc. So, that is my plan. I boarded my dog once (incidentally at what was considered the best/yuppiest boarding facility in Chicago and my lab fount it pretty traumatic, so I will never ever board again.
