Messy Undergraduate - Deal Breker for MBA

Hi

I have a concern regarding my messy undergraduate and am not sure how much an impact it will have for my future MBA dreams.

Background:

Actually my undergraduate degree is somehow messy. I was at one university for 4 years and tranfered to another to get my diploma done in another 3 years.
Coming from Germany the standard period of study was 6 years. Back than we had not Bachelor/Master Programs which are typicall for the us.
The problem actually is that I messed up one course 3 times in my first 4 years and had to switch to another university.
The reason for my poor performance was my lack of focus on study. I was more into work to support myself/family and furthermore started out my own little onlineshop, which I finally gave up as I transfered to the other university.

I am not sure if this is a total dealbreaker for my MBA aspiraton.
Does it make sense to address this poor behaviour in an obstacle essay or optional essay.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Dear amir.kabir,

Your academic journey is not a deal breaker, but it does warrant explanation in an optional essay or could be a great example for an obstacle essay. When writing about it, you want to lay out the circumstances, without seeming like you are making excuses, and then highlight how your performance in business school will be different.

Good luck,
Lisa
