Have you already applied to other targets?

Be good to know more about your post MBA goals? Make sure to reach out to the veterans’ programs of the programs you’re targeting.

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 Might be, but I worry you might be lowering your list of target programs, because of this test score? A better score may make you competitive for the very best programs, opening up more opportunities? Of course, this would depend on the quality of your military experience, too. (0)

ownpumpkin954 Likes Earned: 1 Great feedback on the episode so I appreciate the insight/feedback! I’m going to take a diagnostic GRE, see where I sit and look to bump up my scores with one last try. Additionally I’ve had great evaluations during my military time doing some pretty complicated jobs so feel good with my profile outside of these test scores. (1)
