Notes:

Q: 159 V: 162. Planning on taking the test once more. Currently have a position doing env science field work and hope to transition to the renewable energy sector in a renewable energy role. Applied last year with a 660 GMAT (very weak quant) and got interviews at Owen and Jones. Since last year I have taken on more leadership responsibilities within my very small company (although no title change because we have 8 employees). Wondering primarily if my test scores are competitive for these schools.

If you nudge the GRE up just a few points, it could make a material difference. Coming back to the application process for the second year, you should have stronger applications,even at schools you did not apply, last time. Taking on more leadership at work is great! You might even add 1-2 T16 programs, program like Duke, Anderson? (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1576 Well done! The new GRE score should help, consider adding 1-2 T16 programs. If you can get one of those in for Round 1, that might give you a good marker for possibly more apps in Round 2. (0)
