I graduated Tufts in 03 with a BA in History. I received a 3.46 GPA overall and 3.66 in my major. I thought I would teach history and so I also got an MA in Education, graduating from that in 04 with a 3.54. I found myself working for Fidelity Investments in brokerage. I want to get into equities research and I am currently taking the CFA Level 1. I just took the GMAT with about 2 weeks of practice and scored a 650. I was applying for MSFs at Vanderbilt, BC, and Brandeis. Out of curosity more than anything else I called Solan and asked about "future MBAs" and they pretty much told me not to wait for the future and apply next year because I had a good story (wanting to get into jobs but not having the right background) and enough work experience and they liked the "diversity that my degrees would represent." That sort of shocked me... MIT is 4th in the nation. So I contacted one of my dad's friends who sent me to an Econ prof in Houston who thought I would be great for Yale. I don't know what to do now... should I table the MSF thing? Should I spend 7 weeks this summer on a Veritas Prep course to try to raise my score above a 700 and apply to MBAs in the fall? Is everyone right... Are my chances really that great? Is my Tufts degree a big factor? I noticed that other poster who had a 3.24 Tufts undergrad and a 650 GMAT and got into Kellog. Granted she was Brazilian and they probably liked the diversity as well, but even so... Is there a Tufts factor in this equation? Please evaluate my background, GPA, and GMAT... I am going out of my mind with this!

You most certainly have a shot at a top program if you can boost your GMAT score ~50 points. It sounds like you're definitely capable of that given your 650 after only 2 weeks of studying. While Tufts helps a bit, it's more your unusual story that will help you stand out. Don't wait, you should start looking to apply soon.

Great! MIT loved my story and loved my degrees because my majors would "add diversity of academic background and I had compelling cause for needing an MBA." They didn't seem to concerned about my GMAT score... That doesn't mean that I am not! I have also been directed towards Yale by some accomplished Yale alum. I am going to visit on the 25th. I have a very serious heart condition... I am wondering if the fact that I have this condition that has most people with it laided up and not working... but I have overcome it and I am working 60hrs a week in finance adds to my story. Regardless I am going to be doing some volunteering in social support for parents of children with my or similar conditions. It is something I care about anyway, so it makes sense. I am also going to try a Veritas Prep course and study for a few months this summer... Retake the GMAT. I think a 700+ is easily within my capablity.
