Hi Hjort,
Here is my profile:
Indian female Engineer working for a large company in the bay area.
B.Engineering in Electronics from India with 3.89 GPA (very good school)
MSEE from a Tennessee Tech University with GPA 3.1 (traditional school where very few get high GPAs)
Total work experience as embedded software engineer is 10-11 years
Took the Kaplan course and took the GMAT in Nov 2006 and scored 610 (82% in Quant 47% in Verbal). Retook the GMAT again, but didn't study for the Quant, just studied the Verbal and retook it again in Feb 2007 and scored a 610 again (57% in Quant, 73% in verbal). Took the GMAT again in March 2007, but didn't really have time to study at all. Just wanted to get a 650. Got a 580 instead.
I applied to part-time MBA programs at UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Santa Clara University (since I live in San Jose, California). I have been admitted to both UC Davis and Santa Clara University. I was waitlisted at UC Berkeley and finally dinged yesterday. I do not want to settle for Santa Clara University or UC Davis. I feel I should try to get into a name school. I am thinking of taking the Manhattan GMAT course to improve my GMAT score and get a 700. I am thinking about deferring my admission to SCU and UC Davis and would like to improve my GMAT score and try for Wharton West and Anderson (UCLA) next year. What do you think?
I am married with 2 kids and work full time. Some months of the year I work 12+ hours a day. It just so happens that the time that I was retaking my GMAT was when I was scheduled to deliver a major project. Ofcourse, I can find a million reasons why I didn't do well on the GMAT, but I am not going to. I really want to improve my GMAT score and apply to good schools next year.
How would a school like anderson view a candidate who has taken their GMAT 4 times? Also, I hated the Kaplan GMAT exams and the verbal section. The Kaplan cats always demoralized me, since I only scored like 590 in the Kaplan cats. Also Kaplan did not help me much in verbal. Is Manhattan GMAT really any better than Kaplan? This time around I am planning to take about 3 weeks off, after my MGMAT course, just to study. Would like to hear what you have to say.
