High UG GPA, Very low PG GPA?

Launched April 26, 2006

by nimi.889 » Fri Jul 29, 2011 11:51 pm
Hi, I was writing to enquire of my chances to enter a relatively good school anywhere around the world (preferably the US) with a high UG GPA and low PG GPA.

My UG GPA (from a top school in India) was 3.6 (converted). My PG GPA from the UK was just above 2 however (I do have very strong reasons for this).

I am currently preparing for the CFA exams, and my project reports have all been written fairly well.

I was wondering what my chances were to get into a top school in the US or anywhere around the world (AIM in the Philipines, ISB in India, Singapore or Europe), sometime in the next 2-3 years with a few years of experience under my belt, the CFA examinations and hopefully a good GMAT score?

Thanks.

Dear nimi.889,

It is possible to overcome your low PG GPA with an otherwise stellar application package. I would advise you to focus on building your resume and then on scoring well on the GMAT when the time comes. After that, it is a matter of identifying the right programs for you and putting together strong applications.

Good luck,
Lisa

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for your reply. I will work towards building my application over the next 2-3 years before the process of applying to good schools.
I was wondering further if any form of volunteer work etc, would help towards building my application for an MBA in a good school in the US?

Yes, you do want to show you have varied interests and activities. Being involved in your community is one way--not to mention a great way to build leadership and teamwork skills that all business schools desire in applicants.

Regards,
Lisa
