Hi Mr. Acquisitions At Startup,
I think you have a very promising profile! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you are doing well at work. Your low GPA and GMAT score could be a concern for NYU. I recommend retaking the GMAT and aiming to get as close to the NYU average of around 720. In fact, if you can get a higher GMAT than that, it could help offset your GPA and alleviate any potential concerns the Admissions Committee might have about your academic capabilities.

Hi Mr. Acquisitions At Startup,
I think you have a very promising profile! This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission. I like that you are doing well at work. Your low GPA and GMAT score could be a concern for NYU. I recommend retaking the GMAT and aiming to get as close to the NYU average of around 720. In fact, if you can get a higher GMAT than that, it could help offset your GPA and alleviate any potential concerns the Admissions Committee might have about your academic capabilities. Given that you are early in your career, do consider waiting another year or two to gain more experience under your belt. As well, I recommend getting more engaged with your community – more extracurriculars will help boost your profile, especially if you can make an impact through a leadership role at a community organization, for instance. My estimate of your odds are based on your current GMAT but if you increase your GMAT score, your chances will also improve. If you would like to discuss your profile in more detail, feel free to schedule a 1:1 consultation with us. Wishing you the best in your MBA journey!
