alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1618 What was your class rank? What degree did you take? Might be worth doing some additional remedial work, like MBA Math or Business Fundamentals? Is 326 your best GRE?

Make sure you target the first rounds for these programs.

Showing impact and growth at work will be important. Are you also involved in activities outside of work?
