Fingers crossed! I’m applying with a lower GRE that I really grinded to get. I have okay extracurriculars and about four years of experience in corporate strategy and development, so I’m hoping the rest of my profile helps balance it out.

Deferred Enrollment. Kind of rushed the application process, curious if that could have contributed to my M7 results or if it was test score or my overrepresented profile.
