Hi again!
Yes, quite strong for entrepreneurship. #10 on this list: https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... p-rankings

I am not worried at all about your 730, especially at USC where that will be well above their average. The 7 is not great, but engineering is a tough field plus you mentioned there is an upward trend. And again, you have the more recent high GMAT. If you have time and want to improve your academic profile further, consider taking some pre-MBA supplemental courses (you can do these online), or you could retake the GMAT to see if you could score even higher (I don't think you need to but couldn't hurt either).

Good luck!
Kate

Thanks for reaching out!

I'll be applying next year, so I got more time to prepare.

USC>UCLA for entrepreneurship. Also Marshall is a bit more appealing to me than Anderson.

My only concern are my academics. 7 in engineering and 730.

Do you think they are something I should be worried about?

Thanks, ill keep that in mind.

I dont think an alternate transcript would help me much given that my best classes were quantitative ones (Physics and Math), which trended upwards quite fiercely throughout my degree.

Makes sense if you're already done well in math / science classes. Good luck!
