Hallo vidhi,

Well, you're score is a bit on the low side....why won't you take the test again?

That being said - there was a lot written here in forum about b schools that take people without GMAT - just do a quick search, and im sure you will find lots of great info's!

Hult is a top ranked school - 16th best MBA program in the U.S. and 31st best MBA program in the world(the economist ranking), so i guess they will require a high GMAT score.

Good Luck,

David

I would think its no less then 600, for such a highly ranked program - you should try and contact them, and ask for the min requirements.

Hi All,

My score for GMAT is 560 with 2+ years of Experience.
And i have noticed an average score for Hult-Boston is 580.

Well my questions are: - "This university is a recognized university or not?" , also, "What about scholarship? Are there any?"

Can any one provide hope support here?

JEnIUS.

I'm afraid those are the sorts of questions you should be able to to answer yourself with a minimum of research. In the first case the short answer is "Yes", but you should check out this discussion from a few days ago:

www.find-mba.com/board/5962/last/#last

So use the search function on this site and find out what people have been saying.

As for scholarships - look at their website?

Jenius - Hult has a minimum requirement of 3 years work experience, so unlikely you will get in no matter what your GMAT. And yes Hult is fully accredited and yes scholarships are available.

But honestly whichever school you apply to, you should think about delaying at least 1-2 more years. An MBA is a degree which requires students to have past experience. Without an understanding of the complexity of doing business you will be wasting your money in my opinion. Plus with only 2 years prior work experience you will also struggle to get an "MBA level" position.

My interest toward HULT university is because of the its satalitte campus opened in different locations. It gives students rich exposure.

".....Can any one provide hope support here?"

well, the only thing i can say, is that if you have work experience in a quality position, or other variables(like good GPA on youre BA, or recommendations), then they might enroll you despite of the low GMAT score!

I would second ibanker in suggesting you wait a few more years, as that, as said before, could mean that they will take you.

Thanks Oshrat,

My current expereince is of 2 years , in Software Company (India) with rich experience of working in different project team and location, like:- Tokyo,etc..
Comming back to Work Recommendation, I can get it from my Team lead.

Also, since by the time I will be joining HULT or any other universities, I will be having more than 3 years of experence. Hence, by going your word I think my GMAT score should support me .

More details:-
Graduation:- B.E.
GPA:- Four year average 81 % (apprx.)
Exp(by 2009):- 3 yrs.
Recommendation- Possible.
