Finance degree. Two years work exp, mostly in banking. Took GMAT last summer made a 620 very limited study time. Hoping for a 655+ this time

I have bad undergrad gpa. 2.6. I think a 620 could get you in anywhere except maybe top 25 with a 3.75. My only negative is the grades, so I'm hoping to blow the score out of te water.

JM at this point it's all going to depend on how well you can describe your work experience and what their specific B-school will do to help fulfill your career goals.

I already interviewed and nailed it, just want to give myself the best chance. Trying to get in a really good school. They are waiting to evaluate everything until tueday when I retake the GMAT.

Did they try to grill you on the GPA at all or did they just focus on other things?
Posted on 5/22/10 at 9:40 pm to LSUtoOmaha
No, we discussed it but it was not the focus. I actually had some great answers/ reasons in relation to the gpa.

Define "limited study time." 2 days? 2 weeks? 2 months?

did you take any practice tests? Or did you just go over some problems/questions
Posted on 5/22/10 at 9:52 pm to pnut53088
Did some practice work and problems, but was only able to cover so much.

yea.. I bought the Kaplan Premier Review book and it says there are 6 practice tests, 2 of which are online. I only see 1 practice test inside the book and I have a MAC so I can't take the 2 that are online. Do you know where the other 3 practice tests would be?

No he's saying that he's not even in my league of misery.
However, bogies is a nice break.
I am too old and don't no anyone, but the nostalgia is great.
