Hi stacy,
International candidate- Europe
I completed my Electrical- Electronics Eng with gpa: 2.44 and got a master degree in Engineering and Technolgy Management with a gpa of 3.82. Toefl 112 and gmat 750 and have limited work experience as quality engineer will be 2 years next september.I want to switch my career to Consulting or Finance.Do i have shot in these schools?I really appreciate your comments.

my top choices

insead - lbs (They look for work ex. somewhere min 3 years?)
columbia
harvard
tepper (I saw in their page that they only accept candidate with <2.50 in a percentage < %1 and this means they only take 1 person with <2.50 every year. I am really unhappy now to see that because i was thinking tepper as my safety school)
said (my dream school)- saying that they want 2.1 Honors Degree but i dont have as you can see, will they consider me?

Will my undergraduate degree cancel out my chances getting in these schools or my gmat and master degree will help to mitigate the affect of my gpa? I took lots of important classes in my master degree about management (finance statistics)and i believe that with my gmat score i showed that i can do as well in the rigorous programs. will adcom understand this?

Dear asdfrfv,

I don't think your undergraduate GPA will automatically hold you back from your target list of schools. However, you do have a list of highly competitive schools where each component of your application is critical. Your GMAT and master's GPA do help mitigate your undergraduate GPA and demonstrate your academic aptitude. It is also key that you have outstanding recommendations, well-written essays and great interviews. I would not rule Tepper out, but I would not say this is a safety school either--it is more of a reasonable school for you. I think Said will consider your application, but you should check with the school directly for clarification on any requirements that you see on the school's website in regards to your profile. Basically, you will need to have an outstanding overall application to be competitive at any of these schools for a chance of admission, just like any other applicant.

Good luck,
Lisa
