I'd written a post a year ago, and since my profile has changed. I'd like to get your opinion on my viability for a top 5 MBA.
Female, Minority, 26
Graduated: UofT, 2012
GPA: 2.95 [Half of courses are 3.7+, half are poor)
GMAT: Not yet written (IQ:130)
CFA: Level 2 Candidate
Work Experience: Close to 2 years in Investor Relations for a HedgeFund Administrator. Just started a Private Equity internship (as an Associate) at a small firm (2 months in).
Extra Curricular: Have two NGO's. One of which led me to speak at the European Parliament on Human Rights issues. Have held media events internationally, highly focused on a particular cause. Have a website of creative social art projects.
Low GPA: Studied Life Sciences for the first 2 years, which I despised (coerced by parents to pursue Medicine)
Thank you.

Hi thepoet,
Thanks for your post. In regards to your application, your GPA is low for some of the programs you are considering. I recommend you read this case study of a candidate with a sub 3.0 GPA who was accepted into a top MBA program. It should provide insight for your application: https://www.stacyblackman.com/client-stories/
We also provide free school specific advice for the programs you are considering here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/business-school-hub/
Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
