Hi Alex,

From the information you have written, you have a strong candidacy. Remember that your personal essays and letters of recommendations are going to be critical. Your numbers pass certain requirements, but it is these additional factors that will separate your application from the competitive candidate pools.

Hope this was of help.

Cheers,

Oh yeah man you should do fine. UT is a good school, your GMAT and GPA are solid. A lot of schools like NYU, Columbia, Booth have a 3.4 to 3.5 average gpa for accepted students. Are you set on working in NYC? Cause you'd definitely get into McCombs for MBA, which is a target school for Houston firms.
