Dear jaf74,

Your GMAT score is exceptional--congratulations on that! It also mitigates your GPA when combined with the alternative transcript and extenuating circumstances. Based on your post, your profile is competitive for your four target schools. Now, you need to put together a strong, overall package to reach a positive decision. Your acting experience can be a positive differentiator for you as well as your charity work. Be sure to convey your rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experience and future career goals. Likewise, you want to convey why these schools are the right places for you.

Best of luck,
Lisa
