Hi, I'm applying this year (Fall 2019) and wondering what my chances are for admission. I have taken GMAT a couple of times. The best score I got is 650 (Q49 V30). It seems that I'm not really making any progress with my verbal, which is very frustrating. I have 43 months of work experience as of now. Most recently, I have spent the last 2 & 1/2 years in pharmaceuticals. Since I'm in medical department, I don't have any background in marketing, sales, or operation management. However, I want to switch my career path to marketing with analysis/strategy minor. Do you think I have strong background to compensate my relatively low GMAT score? I really don't want to take GMAT again (I will though if I have to) and don't know if I wil do any better next time with verbal. Help????????

I am no admission expert so can't comment on your admission chances but you should definitely retake and try increase your GMAT score. Avg GMAT of the latest BYU batch is 680; It's always safe to have higher GMAT score than the school's average. It would also increase your chance to get a scholarship. I know couple of Indian applicants with GMAT scores in the range of 700-720 got in to BYU with decent scholarships. Your quant score is good. You just have to improve your verbal score by 5-6 points to reach 700 level. The tips given in this thread might help.. https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-impro ... 42361.html Good luck!

I just submitted my application. Now it's just a waiting game. I think I have a pretty fair chance, though my GMAT and WE are a bit lower than BYU's average. I'm hoping that a 46Q is good enough to justify having an overall score below average. Anyone know when I can expect to hear back from admissions?

That depends. Are you a member of LDS church.

Yes, I am LDS. In what way do you think this affects my application?

BYU accepts only 1-1.5% Non LDS. So if you are an LDS, with decent profile and GMAT scores ,you are good. Please let us know if you hear from the School.

How are everyone's apps coming? The application review period began on November 1st, so we may begin hearing back from admissions in the next few weeks. Good luck everyone!

Any calls for interviews from AdComm? I have interview scheduled with BYU Chaplain today.

Hey Gauravraos, I have not heard from Adcomm yet. I will be sure to keep everyone posted. Good luck with your application. Let us know how it goes and when you hear back. Posted from my mobile device
