Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Dear Consultant,

I intend to apply to a top Canadian MBA college this November. I would be taking the GMAT in late November.

My Profile:

B.Sc Electrical Engineering from a reputable Nigerian University.

Cummulative 5.5 years expereince. i worked one year as a trainee engineer before switching to financial services. I then worked as an auditor for 3 years and 1.5 years as a financial analyst.

My main problem is my CGPA which is extremely low... it is a 3.2 out of 7 (Nigerian Standard)

Please what advice can you offer and my chances of receiving admission.

Regards,

Kayoto

Hi Kayotoprotocol,

If there were any extenuating circumstances that led to a low GPA, then you can explain those in your essays. Nonetheless, it is water under the bridge and you can't do much about it now. Try compensating it with a good test score. And give your best shot in the essays focusing on your professional and extra-curricular achievements.
