Hi,

I graduated with a low gpa from business related degree in 2006 (2.56 / 4). Just did no work for 4 years.

I really want to do a masters in International Management in a top bus. school in Europe. I have a few years work experience and volunteer work (no study semester abroad during degree but currently working abroad, not in a business field but in a managerial role training English teachers)

I just feel so lost. Is there any point in me applying to go to a top school? I haven't started studying for my gmat as I don't know if there's any point.

Please advise.

Thanks

If you score well on the GMAT (i.e. 20+ points above the school's average), you should have enough of a chance that it's worth applying. The Euro schools tend to focus even more on the GMAT than the GPA compared to the US schools anyhow.
