Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I took the GMAT twice and scored a 660 both times (Q47, V34) and got a 7 on the IR and a 5.5 AWA. In hindsight, I know my GMAT preparation was not great and I'm planning on taking it again in a few months and hopefully scoring at least a 700. I graduated with a 3.7 GPA from a top 50 university. I have 3.5 years of work experience (will be 4.5 when I actually apply to b-school). My goal is to go into consulting (my current work experience is in the CPG industry) and my volunteer experience is so-so (mostly volunteer work with women's organizations)
My top choices are Dartmouth, Northwestern, and the University of Michigan. I also like Carnegie Mellon and Emory. What do you guys think my chances are at these schools? Do you have any ideas of other schools I should target?

With a GMAT score of 700 and an undergraduate GPA of 3.7, i think you can get into any of your target universities. A work experience of 4+ years is ideal when applying for business schools. That being said, what matters is the quality of your work experience. Business schools lay a lot of emphasis on leadership skills in a candidate, be it in their work experience or in extra-curriculars. Do you have any other extra-curriculars apart from the volunteering? How about promotions and leadership roles at your workplace? If you can score over 710, you can also give a shot to other top 10 universities. Also, I suggest you decide your target schools based on your post-mba goals. Start working on your application and apply in R1 next year. Download the free ebook on how to get a top business school at : https://www.interviewbay.com/mba/how-to- ... -ebook.php
