Languages: English
Undergrad: B.S in Finance and a minor in Information Technology, 2006
Top 40 regional state school

GMAT 1: 620, Q44, V31, 5.5
GMAT 2: 610, Q40, V34, 5.5
GMAT 3: 650, Q47, V34, 6.0
Work Experience:
2010-Present - Top 4 accounting firm performing business valuations.
2006-2010 - Middle-market financial consulting firm performing business valuations.

Please let me know if my chances to these schools are reasonable. Even though my overall GMAT score is a little weak, I think with the high Quant score, high AWA score, high GPA and good work experience make up for it. Please let me know if I am off base on any of these. Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi there, I think you have a shot in all the schools you listed. You have a super strong GPA and very solid work experience. I think you know that your GMAT is the only thing holding you back. If these are the schools you want to go to, by all means go for it and I have little doubt that more than two will take you in. However, if you want to go to a more branded/famed school for finance, boost your GMAT up to 700+ and you can easily target the top 10 schools, which will undoubtedly give you an easier access into the market you want to be in post-MBA.

You have a strong profile, however, your GMAT is a little weak, especially for the middle four schools. However, the extra classes that you took in calculus should definitely help you. Your work experience also looks interesting and should help you to present solid and logical set of goals. However, your extracurricular looks weak at this point of time and you should leave no time to start making some substantial contribution in some out-of-work activities that you can leverage in your applications. At the end, your chances of success will depend on how well you execute your applications. Good luck!
