Hello!

I'm looking for an evaluation on schools to apply to R2.

Basic:
24 yr old white female
GMAT: 690, 44Q, 40V


Work:
-3yrs at the time of matriculation
-work in technical field in Retail industry at a well known brand
-Received 1 promotion
-Several notable accomplishments I can elaborate on in applications
-International travel associated with current job

Education:
-Graduated from Ivy League
-Humanities type major, but took business classes as well
-Involvement in several strong extracurriculars
-Large leadership role in one large club, and two smaller leadership roles

MBA Goals:
-Entrepreneurship
-Launch clothing brand filling a gap in the current market

Other notable facts contributing to my story:
-Professional artist along side full-time job
-Went through college with a serious illness


Target Schools: Columbia, NYU, McCombs, Ross, Yale

I understand I am on the young side and my GMAT may not be as high as the mean at most schools, but I feel like my story is pretty compelling. Thank you so much for the evaluation!

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out. I agree it sounds like you've got an interesting story to tell.
I also agree that GMAT is your weak point for some of the schools on your list, especially your Quant score. Depending on what you mean by "technical field" hopefully you can demonstrate those skills via work accomplishments. Did you get high grades (A's) in any quant classes in college? Also what's your GPA? I didn't see that. If those are all strong, then I think the GMAT is less of a concern.

As far as schools, Columbia could be tough but makes since given your career goals. The others seem more reasonable. Many applicants interested in fashion/retail also look at UCLA and HEC Paris, in case you want to consider other options.

Good luck, and feel free to reach out if we can help with anything else!

Hi Kate!

Thank you so much for your help. My GPA is a 3.4/4.3...also perhaps on the low side. I took statistics, micro, macro, financial accounting, and a few sciences. Some of these I took without them being required, "for fun". I plan to try to explain my GPA/GMAT due to illness, taking more classes than necessary, and believe it or not the fact that GPA has very little importance in my industry. I'll add UCLA to my list for sure. HEC my only concern is that a one year program isn't enough time.

Thank you so much for your eval! I really appreciate it.

Hi again! Sorry for the delayed response, somehow I missed your follow-up post. Yes, your GPA will be slightly on the low side too, but that's great you've got several quant courses on your transcript. Use the optional essay to explain your GPA / GMAT, and consider retaking the GMAT (though probably not much time) or taking a supplemental course to prove you're serious about demonstrating your academic preparedness. Otherwise, execute a flawless application!

Hope it's going well, and good luck!
Kate
