alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 I would worry that your low GRE score may be a bottleneck. Have you considered a retake? Have you already applied to all these programs?

Showing impact and growth at work, supported by strong recommendations, will be important. Two years of experience will be at the lower end of the spectrum.

Are you also involved in any activities outside of work?

ashunair Likes Earned: 1 My GRE score remained the same after retake. And yes, I have already applied to these programs however, I have applied for a Master’s in Management in more prestigious schools such as LBS and ESSEC; instead of a MBA. For the same reason, I have also given the university specific aptitude tests delivered by IE & Emlyon. I am confident that I have been able to present my professional journey well and have strong recommendations too. For extra-curricular activities, I have demonstrated experience in social work and I have enrolled in an ongoing 6 month long online course administered by a prestigious B-school in India, as well (1)

Notes:

When I was a senior in college, I got a DUI (lowest level). I completed all the necessary steps after and it has in no way impacted my job performance (have been in banking for 3 years). I have strong creds and a good background (strong undergrad school, investment banking in data centers, likely strong GRE, strong recs, strong leadership, etc.). For an HBS/Wharton/Kellogg, how much would this DUI impact me?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations.

Are you also involved in any activities, outside of work? Any additional hobbies and interests?

anon10930 Likes Earned: 2 Im planning on applying R1 and planning on taking GRE within coming months (aiming in between 325-330 range). For work, Ive been top bucket IB analyst in data center & power investment banking and partake in women's events. I also am involved in toastmaster, a data center org and a running club and my recs will be strong and can speak to my character. Do you think this will be a large hinderance? It was a one-time hiccup and has no way impacted my job performance or life after the event. I plan to disclose it maturely and succinctly in additional info section. (1)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 If there’s strong evidence to show it was a one time hiccup, from which you’ve learned etc. as you describe, then I’d think it can be overcome. But you won’t really know, unless you apply. Your approach sounds very good. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Are you planning to apply in Round 2, this season? The GRE score may well be a bottleneck for your progress. Might be worth planning a retake, anyway, in January, if you think there’s scope for improvement?

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Do you think there’s any scope for improving your GRE? Otherwise it might make sense to seek a waiver. Your current score will be below the median of these programs. With a much higher score (more correlated with your 3.8) you might gain access to programs in a higher tier?

Sponsorship and return offer should help.

anon46835 Likes Earned: 1 Given the time frame before R2 deadlines, I don't anticipate being able to take again. I messed up a sent the GRE score to my schools so a waiver is out of the picture. I am torn on whether to ride the score or try to submit an additional score post-deadline. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Yes, you can submit a new score, post submission. While you can’t guarantee it will be reviewed, it’s the best the best approach in this case. Include, in the optional essays, when you plan to retake the GRE. Try to have this scheduled before they’re likely to finalise interview invites. (0)

anon46835 Likes Earned: 1 I am mostly targeting the schools that I have listed above. With the company sponsorship and return offer, I am mostly targeting location, cultural fit, and unique learning opps. I have decided to take the EA and will update these schools with the results after the deadlines. (edited) (1)
