Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Can you guys chance me please? I graduated from the University of Massachusetts (flagship campus) with a 3.89 GPA cum laude. I have a B.A. in Economics and a minor in Political Science. After I graduated in 2003, I went to work for two banks as loan consultant selling mostly mortgage, and home equity related products. I spent about a total of five years in retail banking mostly in sales, which led to a brief management position. I dabbled in real estate sales briefly as a licensed Realtor. Presently, I am unemployed due to a recent lay off. I am preparing to apply to Yale SOM, Harvard HBS, Umichigan Ross, Stanford GSB, and Wharton. I will be simultaneously applying to all the afforemtioned schools law programs in hopes of earning a JD/MBA. This is an ambitious endeavor, however, I have faith in myself. I am a minority so I don't know if that will make a difference. The worst that can happen is they say no. Here are my EC's and test scores.Let me know if I am at least competitive:</p>

<p>Test Scores:</p>

<ol>
<li>GMAT-703</li>
<li>LSAT-158</li>

<p>Honestly, I think you will only be able to get into Yale SOM and UMichigan.</p>

<p>I took GMAT before and scored good enough to get into LBS and Oxford-Said. The GMAT scores, if I remember correctly, come in an increment of tens. In short, a schore of 703 was not possible to get in my time, which was about 5 - 6 years ago already.</p>

<p>Anybody else? Can you help. I just overlooked paper work and GMAT score was actually a 710 sorry for error.</p>

<p>GMAT too low for HWS</p>

<p>Actually, I think your GMAT score is low for HSW as well as for Kellogg and Haas. It is in the median for Yale-SOM and Michigan-Ross, however. But GMAT is obviously not the only criterion for business school admissions. Other criteria includes, undergrad GPA, relevant work experience, recommendations from former faculty and employers, and for some business schools, interviews and essays. </p>

<p>Your LSAT will not be look into, in most likelihood. </p>

<p>I’d say you apply. HBS is known to be accepting students coming from various colleges, some of which are unknown and generally less prestigious.</p>
