Ep 58 | From Low Test Score to Dream MBA Program

The mbaMission Podcast

What does it take to gain admission to your target MBA program? What if you have a below-average GMAT or GRE score... can you still earn a spot at a top business school? MBA applicant Austin Sandoval did just that. In the latest episode of the mbaMission podcast, Austin talks with Harold Simanksy and Jeremy Shinewald about his MBA application journey, and how he used onTrack by mbaMission -- our on-demand MBA admissions course -- to craft his business school applications. With the help of onTrack, Austin overcame a 299 GRE score and was offered admission to multiple top-15 MBA programs, along with over $500,000 in scholarships.
