Hi,
I graduated in 2013 from Wharton's Undergraduate program with concentrations in Finance and Marketing. I am planning to apply to an MBA program next summer, to start in the Fall of 2016 (i.e. 2 years of work experience when I apply, 3 years when I start in Fall 2016). My GPA at Penn was a 3.28 and I scored a 730 on the GMAT. I work in Corporate Banking (a development program where I have experience in both underwriting and sales) at a national bank. I know my GMAT score puts me in the range to apply to the top MBA programs, but my GPA is below average at those schools. Does the fact that I went to Wharton Undergrad help me in terms of my low GPA? Essentially, I am really unsure of where I am qualified to apply and don't want to overshoot or undershoot. What schools would you recommend I apply to?
