izulman Likes Earned: 0 hi, Im looking at haas but with a mere 700 gmat score. wondering whether should retake given limited time. would you mind telling your gmat score? thanks and congrats again on haas! (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 @izulman...definitely consider Haas if you're passionate about it but GMAT alone will not get you there. It's a small class and extremely competitive. I got dinged with a 740 in gmat. (0)

Izulman Likes Earned: 0 @anonymous hi thanks for the feedback. Understood haas is very competitive .. n im damn sure i could not hit 740. hope you managed to get into other schools u applied to. I ran through my profile and personal story with consultants they think it is great especially coz I come from a country with very few MBA applicants. I did speak to one of current haas student too and she encouraged me to apply. She just thought gmat is not a really big issue for haas compared to perhaps wharton and other gmat centric schools if you could hit perhaps 710+ Consultants also provided similar feedbacks, could go for top10 with current profile and background but perhaps retake gmat for better support or do some safety schools of which they suggested INSEAD, Yale, Stern, Ross and Johnson. Either way I am quite comfortable with haas so I will apply and consider re-taking gmat if any. Hope all is well fuh (0)
