Under-graduation: Engineering Degree with not so impressive GPA(66%)
Extra Curricular: Not Much

Writing & Interview skills: Effective
Interest: MBA Sales Marketing- Starting 2017

Hoping to hear from one of you soon.

Ana

Thanks Jim for the vote of confidence!
I am a little skeptical as most of my target colleges have a GPA requirement of 3.0 or B average.
Do you think I am eligible at 66%? I am not sure how to convert this into 4.0 GPA scale or grading metrics.
Also, my undergraduate school doesn't rank in the top25s.


Thanks,
Anza
