Hi, I recently got invited to interview for Chicago Booth Scholars. My GPA is close to the median (slightly below) and my GMAT is probably bottom 10-20%. I recently got invited to interview. I am wondering if they have 'accepted' my stats and it is now dependent on interview performance/other factors, or if I should retake my exam. It is stressful and expensive (paying for the exam is tough financially) to retake the exam, and I wouldn't want to do it if it isn't a strong ROI. I saw some data on here that showed GMAT score doesn't really impact post-interview success rates.
In my additional info section, I addressed my low GMAT score by citing A grades in several quantitative courses like calculus and physics. I also mentioned I plan on retaking the exam or GRE in the future to be competitive for scholarships (deferred programs assess you and give them out the year of matriculation) and future employers. When I said retake I meant like closer to my matriculation.
Do you think Booth is giving me a chance and expecting me to get my GMAT score up in the meantime? Or do you think they've seen something they like and I got a good shot regardless?
Really appreciate any opinions.

Hi drahma7,
Congratulations on being invited to interview!
MBA programs consider the applicant's entire application when making decisions. While your GMAT score is important, the interview and other aspects of your application play a huge role in the final decision. Admissions committees are looking for well-rounded candidates who can add value to the program.
Booth is known to invite anyone they want to know more about to interview. Given that you have been invited to interview, they are interested in learning more about you. The interview is your opportunity to showcase your personality, experiences and goals, and demonstrate why you would be a good fit for the program. You can also use the interview to discuss your future plans for retaking the exam and how you plan to improve your score if needed.
Focus on preparing for your interview and highlight your strengths during the conversation.
To do a mock interview with a Booth alumnus, please write to [email protected] or fill the form at http://www.admitexpert.com
Good luck with your interview!
