  • mbaMission Odds Assessment: 10%

    Hi Mr. Army Consultant, Julie-Anne Heafey here at mbaMission. I agree with Susan that while waitlists may move, your 460 is going to be a stumbling block at Kellogg and most likely at Tuck…I’m assuming you got the GMAT waiver from Ross? Congrats on your admission there – you should be proud, as many were waitlisted or rejected – this was a super tough year! My advice – I like Susan’s idea about a math course or some other prep work to show MBA readiness – but I’d do it even without any plans to submit to Kellogg or Tuck if waitlisted…I’d just do it as preparation for Ross. Best of luck and keep up the awesome leadership and D&I work; …

    Mr. Army Consultant – Thank you for your service. Susan here from Stratus.

    With your softer stats and longer years of work experience, you are definitely a unique candidate. While there is likely to be some movement from the waitlists, I suspect that candidates with stronger stats will be accepted ahead of you. I would recommend that you retake your test AND take a math course for which you will get a transcript to show that you are well-prepared for the rigor of a top program.

    Set a date for yourself by which you want to commit to Ross. It is a FANTASTIC program and will set you up to achieve your goal of working for MBB.
