I graduated from a top 10 school with an undergrad computer engineering (electrical engineering & computer science) with a gpa of around 3.05. It was a difficult major and the average grades in our classes were a C+ and they were all graded on a curve. Also, I took extra non-engineering classes and did fine on them (I realized engineering was not for me). Do admissions committees look at schools with low grade inflation and difficult majors?
I will be taking the GMAT this year and am very confident I can score above 700 - looking at the practice tests. I have been working for a top consulting firm and I have been promoted and have great career progression. On top of that I have excellent extracurriculars both in college and after (officer roles) and I am starting my own non-profit.
Please let me know how I can improve my chances for admission to a top school (Wharton, Harvard, Chicago, Michigan). How will they look at my average GPA from a top school and how can I show that the other parts of my application are strong?
