Emory would be a major stretch for you given your GMAT, even if you have excellent grades and impressive work experience. If you would like me to recommend schools, please see the information I request at what-we-need-for-a-profile-evaluation-107300.html . Thanks, Linda

How about AGSM at Australia, is it harder to get in at AGSM than at MBS (Keeping every other factors constant). I learned that AGSM is a better school than MBS

Accepted.com · Answer

I couldn't find the acceptance rate for MBS. For AGSM it is 49%. The average GMAT for AGSM last year was 650; for MBS it was 660. So they seem pretty similar and perhaps MBS is a little harder to get into. However, I couldn't find a lot of data. We have worked with applicants to both school; we haven't worked with a lot of them.

Best,
Linda
