General question - Masters Umass

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Alright so here is my situation…</p>

<p>I sent my application for UMass on february first and I had to include my GMAT score. I did the GMAT the first time on january 27th and well i majorly screwed and I told the school and asked them if they could wait for me to pass the GMAT again a month later and they said yes.</p>

<p>Last week, I received an email from an executive assistant asking me if they were still going to receive my new grades in march. So this morning I did the exam again and for the record is scored in the 81th percentile… much better than the first time</p>

<p>My questions are would the school have told me if it was useless for me to do the gmat? (I mean they had everything else gpa letters everything) (like even if I score a 760 I still wouldn’t get in)</p>

<p>I had that feeling that they were waiting for the GMAT because it would have been the deciding factor… am I wrong?</p>

<p>And finally do you think my GMAT can compensate for my GPA?</p>

<p>Ah and I would like to add I just e-mailed that same executive assistant to tell him my scores and he said He will now review your file again.</p>

<p>I know I cant do anything about it but you know id still like to know what other people think?</p>

<p>Would they have told me if my GMAT score wouldnt have change anything whether it’d be a 760 or a 590…</p>
