tannerhp Likes Earned: 0 I've launched multiple products, which have been the most popular products for the company. I will likely apply at Stanford and perhaps not MIT. What do you mean by ECs? (0)

tannerhp Likes Earned: 0 I'm assuming by ECs, you mean extra curriculars? I've started a Airbnb/Safari business with a business partner in Tanzania in 2015. I've also spent time as a faith-based teacher for young single adults (over a year), and other charity work. (0)

anon66922 Likes Earned: 0 Thanks! how do you think the GRE score of 328 will be viewed at these schools? (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1675 It is on the lower end of the range for the top schools. Not ideal, but if all else is very strong, not disastrous. (0)

anon66922 Likes Earned: 0 Any insight on what a more ideal GRE score would be? I've seen it converts to about a 710, but currently at Harvard, their median GRE is 164 164 and at Wharton their average GRE score is listed at 163 162. I'm just trying to see if i'm unsuccessful in my applications if retaking it would be the thing to do. (0)
