Hi everyone!
I finished my BA studies last week by taking my final exam there. I would like apply for Marketing Masters in WU Vienna. I already obtained the CAE certificate in English, the only thing missing is my GMAT test. I checked and the minimum score to get in is 500, but I read on various forums that in order to get offered a spot, I need to get a really good GMAT score, around 650 at least. I did a practice test a few days ago, with barely any knowledge of what GMAT is and I got 450 (Q31, V21, IR3). I would like to take the test in early February, as the 3rd and final priority deadline to get in is March 8th. I have 2 questions:
1.) I know that most people suggest studying multiple months, but since I am practically in quarantine due covid and don't have to do anything else, is 6 weeks of practicing enough to get a score of 650? What study methods do you suggest?
2.) I read somewhere that only 60 people will get accepted for Marketing Masters and each year there are around 200 applicants, so I reckon that a good gmat score is crucial. I also read that priority deadline 3 puts me on a waiting list, but sadly I couldn't have done gmat earlier due to my BA studies and exams there. So my question is, is it possible to get accepted during priority deadline 3? Other than gmat, what else will increase my chances of getting accepted?
Thank you so much!!

Hi AkB98,
You're ultimately asking Admissions questions, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
That all having been said, you're asking about a specific Program at a specific European School, so you might not find any Experts here who know the intimate details of that Program (and how best to apply to it). As such, you might consider reaching out to the School directly to ask your questions.
From your initial post, it sounds as though you're thinking about putting in a LOT of study time over a relatively short period of time. Going forward, you have to be careful about confusing "quantity" of study with "quality" of study. I've never asked anyone to study 30+ hours a week - and while it's great that you might have the available time to study that much, with that number of study hours, you would run the risk of 'burning out' before Test Day (and that is something that we want to avoid). If you are going to try to study that much, then I suggest that you take one hour "off" for every two hours of study. For example, you could study for 2 hours, then stop for an hour, then study for another 2 hours, then take an hour off, etc.
Statistically-speaking, raising a 450 to the point that you can consistently score 650+ will likely require that you commit to at least 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. No one here knows you well enough to say for sure how quickly YOU might improve, but a 200-point increase in just 6 weeks might be too difficult of a goal to be considered realistic.
1) What was the source of your 1st practice CAT/mock?
2) What study materials do you currently have access to?

AkB98 - People do get admits and scholarships during R3. Here are a few examples:
Krishna (GMAT 720, four full-fellowships in R3): Click here
Nishant (GMAT 740, Ding in R2, full fellowship in R3): Click here
You may look at a few more examples here
Essentially, get a good GMAT score and then worry about other aspects of your application. To excel, you need both.
Cheers!!
