Obviously the biggest hurdle to admission is your GMAT score of 670. If you can get that up to 690 or 700, you would be a no-brainer for an admit to Cornell where the average is 700. But let’s assume you have taken the test a few times and are really done with it. I still think your chances are pretty good, given your background and what you have already achieved. Critical to your application is a strong answer to why you want the MBA and what you think it can do for you. If you nail that essay or question during an interview, I think you are in. But I still worry about that low GMAT score for Cornell.
