random question, perhaps someone may be able to shed some clarity...
My best friend's father is a professor at Wharton and he advised that you have to have a GMAT score over 700 to really be considered competitive for admission. While that's understandably the case at all top 10 schools, my reservation lies in the overall range. Being a woman in M&A, with material international experience, a full-time job while in undergrad, 3.6 GPA with a major in accounting/finance minor in econ. and 1st generation college, extremely poor background, supporting parents, and move from Midwest to east coast should speak to my overall capabilities, I would think. I believe Wharton has the toughest reputation. My score was a 670 and i have no desire to retake the test, i don't have the time nor the energy. My goal post-MBA is non-profit & social entrepreneurship. Finance has been great, but I need something more meaningful given my background. Thoughts? Are they as bad as their reputation suggests?
Thanks... getting slightly nervous.
