<p>I was rejected from Baruch College for their master’s program. I think it was because of my low GMAT score. now, their website says that I can reapply for the following term after corecting my weak area. so,how can I do this? I know I have to take the GMAT again but what is it like to re-apply?
I am feeling like a total loser now. I had all my hopes on this one sdchool and never applied to anyother.</p>
<p>You’re not a total loser. You just weren’t a good fit for that University that’s all.
Everyone has a place somewhere.
Apply to several places (at least 3-4) and maybe retake the GMAT.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>thanks ghionus. you cheered me up. I was so dejected because I even left my job to study for GMAT and concentrate on admissions. now, i am left with nothing. ofcourse, now the only option is to retake GMAT and apply for fall. I guess I am very late for spring. will try to turn in my application for fall. also, the school has given me the option to re-work on my weak area and then just and i need not submit all of the documents again. i shall try to use that option</p>
<p>Are you absolutely sure that the GMAT is your “weak area”? You might want to call or email to find out, just in case that’s not the reason they turned you down. You don’t want to get your hopes up again with a higher GMAT score, only to find that the perceived weakness was something else.</p>
<p>I agree with MWFN. Get details. Be polite, calm, and composed. Force a smile if you have to.</p>
<p>It always, always sucks to be rejected. Your ego’s been blown to bits. Now you have to pick up the pieces and rebuild yourself. When you have done so, your mind will be clear enough to think about the next step- how to expand your list and improve your application.</p>
<p>MWFN,
Most likely it is my GMAT that screwed everything. Rest of my profile is a perfect fit for the program. I chose this program after considerable research. However, I am going to shoot a mail today and ask them what happened. Like you say, it may be something else. In the decision e-mail, it was mentioned that I will be receiving an official document that will list my weak area(s). However, I am going to be out of the country for 1 month and so may not be able to receive the official document. For this reason, I need to shoot an e-mail and find out.
ticklemepink,
Yes, it totally sucks and more than my ego, it has hurt my personal plans.I have a family and am going to be a mom soon. So,you can imagine how much of a mess it has caused in my personal life. I have still not been able to rebuild myself. Hope that happens soon. I need to start studying for GMAT ,if need be. I want to re-apply for the fall. The school has been very nice in that they do not need me to submit all other documents like essays/SOP,recommendations again. I only need to address the weak area and send in my application again.
Thanks for your support,friends.</p>
<p>Wow. Being pregnant will definitely magnify the emotional impact of your rejection. Rejection is bad enough without heightened effect of hormones. Good luck! I’ll bet if you can form a solid plan and work toward it, you’ll feel a lot better.</p>
<p>Thanks, MWFN for your kind words. Yes, I am dealing with a lot of hormones! Nevertheless, I am going to work on my application again and try to get through for the fall semester.</p>
