alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1842 Curious how you selected your target programs? What are your post mba goals? Nice GMAT will help, but GPA is going to be a potential issue? (0)

anon20893 Likes Earned: 0 I selected programs based on location and reputation since all programs have what I need (Real Estate, entrepreneurship, social impact). I have great recs, been promote in a top company and decent ECs. My grades from college (6 years ago) are the biggest weak link. What can I do other than a good optional essay to mitigate my low grades? Any advice would be appreciated. (0)
