Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to help me out - Looking for some thoughts on my profile and next steps to take on my MBA journey.
I am looking to attend Booth's weekend program (apply for Fall 2024 intake) or Ross' weekend program (2025 intake).
Profile:
- 3 years of work experience at an automotive OEM in Metro Detroit. I have been working there since graduating from undergrad and went through their rotational program, experiencing 4 different supply chain jobs in 2 years (1 role in supply chian, purchasing, logistics, and at an assembly plant), so a lot of experience in a short amount of time. I now work in containerization.
- Also lead a team of 10 people to manage the program that I was going through (think onboarding the new graduates, planning meetings/events/etc for the program, working with HR)
- I have my Six Sigma Green Belt
- 3.9 GPA
- Majored in Supply Chain (at a top 25 program)
- Minored in Spanish and my concentration was Data Analytics
- Speak spanish and some Portuguese
- 640 GMAT Classic
- First generation college student
- 25yr, F
Would really appreciate any feedback and thoughts on my profile strength considering my goal programs. I am worried about my GMAT score. I have received advice both to keep pushing for a better score but also not to kill myself over doing multiple retakes considering it is right in the general admission range. I don't want it to be the reason that I dont get into either program. I am currently studying to take the Focus version and am obviously aiming for a better score, but my practices are not scoring significantly different than my classic score, at least for now. My biggest conflict with it all is that I want to take the time to do my Booth application really thoroughly, however if I stop studying to apply in time for the fall deadline, and don't get in, I feel like I will be kicking myself for stopping my studying momentum and having to backtrack to try to improve my score for applications in the fall/winter.
Again, apprecaite everyone's insight!
Sincerely,
a very stressed MBA applicant

Unless you have a ton of obligations/travel or crazy work hours I think it’s reasonable for you to start on your application to months maybe 2 1/2 months before the deadline. So in the case of June 7, you have a bit of time and I think it would be fine for you to continue focusing on your test score for another month.
It’s more helpful to know not the aggregate, but the actual breakout, the main concern is the quant section. They want to know that you can handle the quantitative academic rigor.
If you haven’t explored getting a tutor, you might want to try that, and also the executive assessment tends to be more forgiving.
It’s entirely possible that you can get in with this score that you have but it might also enhance your chances of getting a small scholarship.
I imagine that you have B or better grades and quantitative subjects from undergrad. If you’re not able to get any more traction with your test score, you might call out certain classes that were particularly quantitative - math and also statistics, business calculus would be ideal - in the optional info area.
I work with applicants on both of these programs, and I feel you are very competitive.

Thank you so much for your reply - it means a lot to me. Especially because I had convinced myself that I would not be a competitive applicant, so your comment has made me feel better about my position.
I plan to take the gmat focus once and am currently studying, hopefully with a better outcome. My quant score on the classic was a 38 so I am really working on getting that up specifically. Thank you for the idea to mention quanitative courses from undergrad. Because I was in the IB program in high school and took calculus, I only had to take statistics in college. I got at B+ - do you think that alone would then be worth mentioning?
Thanks again for your time!
