alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1572 Are you only applying to these two programs? Showing impact and growth at work is important. Are you involved in activities outside of work? Your GPA GMAT combo is going to be a little below the average at these programs, have you considered a GMAT retake? (0)

s86ahmed Likes Earned: 4 Nope these are the only 2 programs I've had the time to apply to and would go if I got an interview. My work experience is elite (IR/Capital raising/ Transaction financing reporting directly to the CFO). While my GPA has issues, the GPA matters less once you're outside the US anyway. Given that people with 700-710s are getting into much better schools, I think I'll be okay. It is a slightly less competitive year. I did try rewriting the GMAT once but got a worse score. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1572 I wouldn’t assume the GPA matters less. Also, what are your post MBA goals? You’d want to pick consulting or banking, but not both. What are your long term goals? (0)
