Honest Feedback
26F from states, 3.6 GPA in economics from T2 uni. Work for a lesser known F500 company. Started as intern and progressed into technical consultant, business dev, and now project management. Candidly, want an MBA because 1) want to live in Europe (spare me on the poor salaries and job market) and 2) to provide me with more overall business fluency. I believe the degree will enhance my overall well-roundedness while exposing me with the tools and network to slightly pivot within my industry. Positioning myself in my apps as wanting to go for consulting within real estate (think JLL/ cbre/ RE arm of a big 4). My problem is that while I'm an interesting candidate given my background and such, my GRE preparation is BLEAK. One month into magoosh prep and my 2 mock scores are a 300... I'm slated to take the exam mid august to apply R1. Need to improve to a 314 (an 8 pt jump in quant) to hit minimum scores. If I hit the minimums, I'll consider that a win. Never been a great standardised test taker so my struggle is not surprising, but certainly unsettling. If schools say they have minimums, how legit is that? I worry that I wont meet that threshold. I also feel like I hear of people with below average stats getting into strong programs... I just am curious if I were otherwise a desirable candidate. For reference, I'm applying to Bayes, Imperial, and ESCP (London route). Give it to me straight...I'm stressing about my likelihood of acceptance. TIA!
