NYU Part-Time MBA - How competitive?
Just curious as to how competitive NYU's part-time MBA program is. Average GMAT and years of work experience in a "normal" environment - ie. not like what we are currently seeing with a much higher app. rate.
Thanks.

aren't you put off by part-timer's lack of OCR access?
Wisdom needed: What GMAT would I need for NYU part-time? How about Columbia? (Originally Posted: 06/29/2008)
By the time I apply, I'll have about one year work experience at a large firm in NY.
Crappy state undergrad: ~3.75, summa cum laude, bunch of other awards
20-ish ranked Law School: ~3.65, cum laude, bunch of awards
Do GMAT admissions consider law school GPA or would they only look at undergrad? What GMAT would I need for NYU or Columbia??
is that they'd be concerned that you're already getting another degree so soon after completing your law education.
700+ to be safe.
Yes, b-school adcoms will look at law school GPA, but will still weigh your undergrad GPA more heavily since they can benchmark that against other applicants. Either way, it's not an issue for you -- your GPAs are strong enough that it's not going to be a factor for (or against) admission either way. B-school isn't like law or med school when it comes to GPA -- once you hit a certain threshhold or range, it won't improve your chances (i.e. it doesn't matter whether it's 3.8 or 3.5 or 3.6 - so long as it's above 3.2).
Same with the GMAT. So long as its above 700 (minimum high 600s), and your GMAT wont' be a factor for admission.
In other words, a high GMAT or high GPA won't get you in, but a low GMAT or GPA can keep you out.
