anon92307 Likes Earned: 0 Haas has a much stronger community than Columbia (especially now that Columbia seems to be targeting GMATs > fit) so you really cant go wrong esp that you want to do technology. A lot of the MBA NYC Tech jobs are geared more towards sales/marketing functions than PM. (0)

anon71403 Likes Earned: 0 Congrats! Were Haas and CBS hung up on your GPA? If so, how did you combat that weak point in your application (other than crushing the GMAT)? I'm in a similar situation and looking to gauge whether top schools will even consider my application. (0)

anon19550 Likes Earned: 0 I had a masters with a much higher GPA and 12 years of relatively uncommon military experience to prove that I could actually work hard as well, but I think it was still an uphill battle and there is a bit of a mental barrier between a 3.0 and even a 2.9 (0)
