Hi
I recently gave the GMAT FE and scored 655 (93 percentile) with the below break up (81 percentile in Quant, 86 percentile in verbal & 90 percentile in DI).
I will have 3 yrs of work ex by the time I apply for R1.
I am currently a part of a B4 consulting firm with 2 promotions over the last 2 years.
I got a good undergrad GPA of 9.1, 2 awards at my current firm, volunteering exp, was part of 2 societies in my undergrad.
What are my chances of getting into UCLA MBA Program with my current profile?

Based on what you’ve mentioned, it seems like you’re on a strong path. Here’s a breakdown:
- GMAT Score: Your score of 655 (93rd percentile) is solid, but slightly below the average for UCLA's MBA program (which tends to be in the 710-720 range). However, your strong percentiles in the individual sections (Quant, Verbal, and DI) help to balance out the overall score. If you feel confident, you could consider retaking the exam to boost your score, but it’s not a deal-breaker if you choose not to.
- Work Experience: Three years of work experience at a B4 consulting firm with two promotions in that time is great. This shows strong career growth and leadership potential, which is something the admissions committee will definitely value.
- Academic Background: Your undergraduate GPA of 9.1 is impressive, especially if it’s from a reputable institution. This demonstrates strong academic performance, which is a positive.
- Additional Achievements The two awards at your firm, volunteering experience, and involvement in societies all point to a well-rounded profile. UCLA values candidates who are not only strong professionals but also contribute to their communities and show leadership outside of work.
Based on these factors, I’d say your chances are decent, but your GMAT score might be a potential area for improvement to make your application more competitive, especially if other aspects of your profile are relatively strong.
It would be helpful to also focus on crafting strong essays that highlight your leadership, career progression, and personal story to differentiate yourself. If you have unique experiences or perspectives to bring to the table, definitely emphasize those.
Overall, you have a competitive profile, and with some refinement (e.g., GMAT score or strengthening your essays), you’ll be in a good position. Best of luck with your application!
