alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1584 That’s a super GRE score! Showing impact and growth at work is really important. Be good to know more about your post MBA goals, short and long term. Are you involved in activities outside of work? Are you applying to any of these programs in Round 1? It’s a large list of target programs. (0)

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1154 How many years of work experience do you have? Have they all been with the same employer? I agree with Alex that your counting stats (GRE + GPA) are strong, but it would be helpful to know more about your professional background and goals in order to assess your candidacy. I also agree that 8 applications is a lot, so I hope that you were able to find the requisite time needed to make each of them strong. Best of luck and keep us posted!
