Hi everyone,
Recently I got a GMAT exam and took a score of 610 (Q48/V25).
I am planning to approach MIT Sloan business school, yet the average scores of the enrolled students is way higher.
My background:
- I am 27
- 4.5 years in corporate finance,
- 1.5-2 years CEO and Co-Founder of a programming school chain (5 centers), management of my team up to 15 people, and working with government and international partners on different projects.
- Undergrad GPA - 3.5, Bachelor's degree in Economics
Do I have chances to get accepted to the school? The reason, I am asking is that top schools such as HBS or MIT Sloan state that there is no minimum GMAT score.
I won't have time to retake GMAT exam this year, so give me an advice if I have chances to get accepted or it will be worthless and I need to postpone the idea for one more year, please.
Thank you in advance

A 610 is too low to have even a small chance at MIT. I would suggest working hard this year to break a 720. There may be no minimum score, but there is an average GMAT and it is above 720. And if you are Indian or Chinese it can be even harder.
But don't give up, of course!
Just start thinking NOW about how to apply next year.
Best,
Jon

Thank you for your post and congrats on your programming school. That sounds really interesting! How many students are taught through your schools each year? That will make for an interesting and unique application, though unfortunately the 610 and a 25V is just too low to apply. You have a fine quant score, but the verbal is just too far off. I recommend verbal tutoring and if you are interested in learning how Personal MBA Coach can help, send me an email: [email protected]
The good news is the quant matters a lot more than verbal, but you still need the verbal to be quite a bit higher than 25. Good luck!
Best,
Scott
