Hello,
I would really appreciate if one of the consultants could evaluate my profile and give me a generic idea whether my GMAT score is decent enough to apply to the following schools—
• Fisher
• Kelley
• MSU Broad
• UNC- Kenan Flagler
• Mays- Texas A&M
• ASU- Carey
• Krannert- Purdue
• Rice (Jones)
• Foster- UW
• Smith- Maryland
Profile-
GMAT Score- 680 (Q48 V35)
Work Experience- 3.5 years by the time I start school in Fall 2017
Undergrad- Mechanical Engineering (from a Tier-2 University in the US)
Undergrad GPA- 3.2
I am an Engineer and work for the Facilities Engineering & Operations for one of the largest universities in the US. My job at work entails a lot of management of projects and vendors apart from the engineering aspect of it. I have also been heavily involved with various organizations on campus as an advisor or a committee member. I have some relevant leadership experience and a little bit of volunteering experience as well. I plan on applying for Round 1.
Considering my background and work experience, do you think I have a shot at one of the above mentioned schools with my current GMAT score? I understand that my undergrad GPA may not be very impressive, would you recommend writing GMAT again to compensate for it? I may be jumping the gun here, but do you think I have any chances of getting a scholarship with my current score and profile?
Thanks in advance for the response. I really appreciate it.

Hi there,
I feel your GMAT is in range for your school list, however one potential challenge is just the fact that others with similar engineering backgrounds do tend to score quite high on the exam.... I don't feel you are at the level of likely scholarship based upon your score. I would make the decision on whether or not to try again based upon your expected ability to improve your score... based upon past practice test scores, time and resources available, etc. Good luck!
