<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I desperately want to attend a top 20 MBA program, however I am worry that my community college credits will hurt my chances.</p>

<p>I am currently attending Haas undergrad at UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>My stats are:
UCB GPA: 3.6
Community College GPA: 3.9
5 Solid years of work experience
Plenty of extra-cirriculars and community service</p>

<p>I have not taken the GMAT and is wondering what range I would need to score in to have a chance at a top 20 program.</p>

<p>Any help would greatly be appreciated!</p>

<p>Very good chance. Shoot for over 690.</p>

3

<p>If you get close to or above 700 on your GMAT, and your essays are well written, you are pretty much guaranteed a top 10 program.</p>

<p>Prepare carefully for the GMAT, and see what you get. Don't stress about it - it's counter-productive. After you get your score, figure out where you have a realistic chance of admission. Apply widely; include long shots, reasonable alternatives, and sure bets.</p>

<p>Always remember: there's life beyond the top 20.</p>
