For a lower-than-ideal GMAT score, otherimportant factors that can lessen the importance of the GMAT score arethese:

1. If you have a high GPA from college or a high GPA from agraduate-level degree to point to.

2. Getting a highGRE score. Some business schools accept the GRE and a high GRE can aidyou in your admissions quest.
现在越来越多的MBA项目接受GRE的分数了,如果能有较高的GRE可以选择递交这个成绩。

MAXIMIZE TIMING AND MBA PROGRAMCHOICE

In some cases, however, if your GMAT score or GPA are truly excessivelylow for your profile, or if your age or work experience challenges will bedifficult to override, you should look to alternatives where these factorsaffect you less heavily, including:

1. Executive MBAprograms
2. Part-time MBA programs
3. Special programs such as one-year or accelerated programs whereadmission demand is less
4. MBA programs where no GMAT score is required
5. Early decision pools
对于GPA 或者是GMAT实在是比较低的申请者,可以考虑以上的一些项目。



MITIGATE

Finally, it is useful if – beyond re-directing attention away from alower-than-ideal GMAT score and a lower-than-ideal GPA – you have taken othersteps to lessen the importance of your GMAT score or GPA by introducing othermetrics or factors that the committee can use to judge your ability to do rigorous academic work and to excel in your post-MBA career.

Things that can help to lessen the importance a lower-than-ideal GPA ora lower-than-ideal GMAT score include things such as securing professional certifications, winningawards in the workplace and building an alternative transcript.
如果申请者在工作上有奖状或者其他证书也可以拿来作为较低的GPA的补偿。
CERTIFICATIONS

You can provide the admissions committee with another factor to considerby securing value-added credentials like certifications and professionalcredentials (like the CFA or Six Sigma training). The CFA, for instance, is so difficult to secure that ifyou have passed all three levels, this provides a strong indication that youhave excellent analytical skills and this can offset your lower-than-ideal GPAor GMAT score.
CFA如果能三个level都考出来其实能很好地体现你的分析能力,这对于补偿较低的GPA都很有帮助。

WORKPLACE AWARDS

Workplace awards provide the committee with some “proof” that you haveexcelled in the workplace and are among the best performers. It indicates youhave the abilities – analytical and leadership – to excel both at theirbusiness school and in your future career.

ALTERNATIVE TRANSCRIPT  

By “alternative transcript”, I mean you can take courses at a reputable school inbusiness-relevant areas and you should ideally get As. This provides thecommittee with another set of factors to consider that testifies to your stronganalytical and academic skills, and therefore this can help offset alower-than-ideal GPA or GMAT score.

MAXIMIZE TIMING

If your challengeswill be very hard to override, you should consider applying during EarlyDecision pools, if possible. Because there is less demand, all of theseats are available and you are expressing a deep interest in the school giventhe commitment you are making in Early Decision, your odds of overriding thisparticular weakness in your profile are usually higher during Early Decisionrounds.  
如果能赶在最早批申请也就是“early decision” 阶段,这样你的竞争力会大一些。 因为那时候是供大于求。
