Masters Real Estate

[gmatcats]

After 2 very dissapointing gmat experience, I am left with a 610 38/35. I was scoring 720-740 on my manhattan gmat cats and couldn't understand what happened at all. The first time I recieved a 570- 42/28.

I am looking to apply to a masters in real estate program at Columbia, USC, NYU, MIT, and Harvard. MIT said their average gmat was a 650 for the masters in real estate.

I have around a 3.8 gpa in economics from a non-top school and wanted to know if my gmat will be an issue. An MBA and MSRED is different so not sure if fit is more important as opposed to MBA where gmat is SO important.

I have 2 years of experience and real estate. I have bought a few houses, redone them and flipped them for personal experience while working full time at an investment group and really enjoyed. Before I start my own group I would like a masters in real estate.

Thanks

Hi there,

My apologies, but I am not as familiar with the requirements and criteria for a Masters in Real Estate. My sense is that GMAT would not be weighted as much as it is for MBA programs, but I don't know for certain. Always remember that the average score is just that - an average. That means that a large chunk of the class scored below a 650! In any case, if you aren't planning to retake the test, you're stuck with your score and you may as well apply. I would, however, add some safer schools to your list to hedge your bets.

Good luck,
