I would like to go to Columbia Business School, but my problem here is my undergraduate GPA is around 2.75. Here is the unique part about my situation though. I am a M.S. student at Columbia (I worked very hard to get in) and I am doing well on my grad studies with around a 3.7 GPA. Will my grad GPA offset my undergrad? Both undergrad and grad work are in an engineering discipline.
By the time I apply, I should have about 8 or 9 years of work experience. I heard that when applying to the executive MBA program, they may not take grades into consideration as much. Would it be easier for me to get into the regular MBA program or the executive MBA program? Personally, I'd prefer the executive MBA program, but I'm willing to quit my job to go to CBS if I have to.
Aside from acing the GMAT, is there anything else I can do to help the situation? I have time before I plan on applying, so any suggestions are welcome.
If the chances at my dream of CBS are low, what about NYU Stern? I heard that they're more likely to accept applicants that come from a technical background. These are the only two schools I'd consider applying to.
Thanks
