She’s a bright person, but not a great test taker. She scored 1200 on the SAT. She studied with SAT prep books, but did not take one of those expensive classes or have a private tutor. Can her GPA make up for her GMAT score? She is instate in California.

She has always done well in school - ~4.0 GPA in high school, 3.8 GPA in college.

I thought that UC Irvine might also be a nice fit for her, but the average GMAT score there is 670. Maybe Indiana? Santa Clara?

I know that she would prefer to stay on the West Coast after getting her MBA. I was thinking that it might be better for her to get her MBA from a West Coast school since typically MBA students generally stay in the area of their college.

Where people get jobs from what I’ve read
Iowa (Midwest)
Indiana (Midwest, East Coast)

Any suggestions? I’m looking for specific schools that she should aim for. She is looking for a full term program where there is a good sense of community.
