Right now, I'm studying for my GMAT and know I need 700+. Here 's why. I'm looking at applying to the following schools:
UNC, USC, Rice, Texas, Duke, UCLA, UVA, and Emory
I wanted to get your advice on my situation in regards to the schools I just listed:
I graduated from a large state school, top 50 in the country, with a 3.07 in Finance. The problem is I have two WFs (Withdraw Failings) on my transcript, closer to 3.3 without the WFs. I made an A and a B when I retook the classes. I think I can explain them within the essays, but I wanted to ask several questions.
How high does my GMAT need to be to offset for the schools I'm loooking at? I know the higher the better, but realistically. Also, will AdComs tend not to look at it as highly if I've worked hard since then and I have a strong GMAT and other parts of my app are strong? What I'm really worried about is that pretty much no one else will have WF's on their transcript and get in at those schools and they'll just ding me right off the bat. What else can I do short of curing AIDS between now and when I submit my apps to increase my chance of acceptance? Should I take a class this summer and if so what should I take?

jbpayne,
I think you are overworrying those two grades. Any score over a 700 (or actually over 80th percentile in both math and verbal) will eliminate most adcoms' concerns, especially since you already retook the courses and aced them. It's also true that the further back those grades were the less they matter. No one is automatically dinged for two such grades. Doesn't happen. If you do cure AIDs, go ahead and add Harvard and Stanford to your list.
Good luck,
