<p>Certainly I will try for the highest score I can get. Realistically though, I will have a 3.0-3.1 GPA and around a 600 GMAT when it comes times to apply. Given this, I will try to distinguish myself in other ways such as showcasing my scholarships, extra curriculars, leadership activities, letters of recommendation, and personal statement</p>
<p>I know my statistics put me in the lower 25% of those accepted…but they still accept individuals with these statistics. I know a lot of these MS Finance programs look at leadership activities, leadership potential, and how aligned your career goals are. I think have leadership potential and having clearly defined career goals are going to give me a slight advantage.</p>
<p>Can you suggest anything else before I apply this fall? I am trying to get into contact with the program director to discuss my situation and develop a relationship. Is there anybody within the program that you can suggest I become acquainted with that could help me gain admittance? </p>
<p>As you can tell, I REALLY want this. In addition to improving the GPA and doing well on the GMAT, I am trying to differentiate myself in anyway possible.</p>
