alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1865 Where are you from? Any context surrounding the lower GPA? Super GRE score helps. Be good to get more clarity on your post MBA goals. More focused goals are better.

Showing impact and growth at work is very important, supported by strong recommendations. Are you also involved in any activities outside of work? Any additional hobbies and interests?
