Re: Operations Person + Top MBA?
Hello,
You seem to have an outstanding profile. Business schools really like applicants with manufacturing and operations experience and you have that in spades. Your GPA is fine, particularly given your college, your major and your strong GMAT score. We encourage clients to aim for an 80/80 split, but your 76th percentile score in quant is so close, that I don’t think it would raise any questions about your ability to do the work required in business school - particularly given your academic and professional history.
Instead of retaking the GMAT in an effort to increase your quantitative percentile, I suggest focusing on your essays and the other aspects of your application. You should be competitive for the schools that you’ve listed. However, keep in mind that it is very challenging to gain admission to these schools, even if you are a stellar candidate, so consider applying to 4-6 schools if you feel that you really must attend business school next year.
Sincerely,
Akiba Smith-Francis
