Response from Adcom of Johnson School at Cornell University

Thanks for your email. Your GMAT score is in the bottom 10% of our class profile. Our average GMAT of a matriculating student is 700. Only you can make the final decision of whether you will apply; however, if you do, I would highly recommend retaking your GMAT so that your application is as strong and competitive for consideration.

  2. What was your GMAT score?

    Although it may sound harsh, I'd rather they be straightforward, than deliver directionless rhetoric from their websites. I've been on a lot of webinars, fairs, and adcoms tend to sound the same everywhere everytime and when they do that, its hardly useful.
