Anybody applying to Univ Of Chicago (Weekend)

Question

Has anyone in the club applied to Univ of Chicago(Weekend) program and heard anything back from them? I didn't submit my app yet, as I'm waiting to get the reco from another recommender. I'm a little skeptical abt my GMAT score. Mine is only 640 with 7.5 yrs of exp with more Project manager role(in the recent past). Hoping to have decent essays.
 
 
Thanks,
Aryan

Aryan, WinterMBA

Can you pls. share your profiles? I plan to apply to Chicago (weekend) if I am dinged from NYU's PT program (Langone).

Does anyone of you know the 80% GMAT range of Chicago? I believe 640 is well within the range - isn't it!

While not quite what you are looking for, one of the top PT programs, the FEMBA at UCLA, has an average c. 683 and a center 80% range of 620-740. UC Berkeley Evening&Weekend has a median of 690 and a center 80% range of 630-740. NYU Langone is essentially the same with a median of 690 and an 80% range of 620-730.

Hello-

Can anyone attest to the credibility that if you name shows up in a Northwestern (Kellogg) online student directory that you have been admitted to the school but have not been notified yet? In other words, does the school put all the names of the applicants in the directory when they apply and remove as needed (either denied or otherwise), or do they only populate the database with your name and curriculum when they have admitted you? I would think the latter would be correct, but it is just pure speculation. I have read on other forums that this was the case in 2002 when people were waiting to be notified if they were accepted after they have been waitlisted. Thanks for any information you can provide...

Hjort,
Thanks. NYU's middle 80% range has gone up, it is now 650-740. Any statistics for Chicago? For some reason Chicago does not post the median and 80% GMAT range on its website.

spiderman,u got it wrong..
650-740 is the 80% range for full time students
620-730 is the 80% range for part time students

each univ has different ranges for full time and part time..with part time generally easier to get in

Puhrince,

I called NYU and asked the admissions office for the 80% GMAT score range (PT). Their response was 650-740 (Fall 05 class). Given that Stern's PT program is ranked #1. I am not surprised by the higher score range.

am not sure why NYU said what they said but officially its still 620-730 unless published anywhere else

u shud try for chicago too - my friend with a score of 650 got in there too..as i said its always easier to get in part-time

Hjort · Answer

I would avoid a universal statement that it is easier to get in to part time across all schools. However, the GMAT requirements are generally lower for PT programs.

looks like the 80% gmat score range is lower for this year(FT) https://w4.stern.nyu.edu/admissions/full ... doc_id=395
