Hello,
I am looking to get into a decent part time program, nothing extravagant.
I have my undergrad in economics with a GPA of 2.8 from an average school.
I have not taken the GMAT yet, but I am projecting worst case scenario 580-610.
I have worked for three years at a well known eCommerce company and have taken on more responsibility.
These three together make for a weak candidate at any school. The core of the issue seems to be my low GPA. The 2.8 is my adjusted GPA after I retook classes to replace my worse grade. I paid my way through school and worked ~30 hours a week while taking classes full time. That wasn't so bad.
Where things got sticky is my epilepsy. I was constantly having them while I was in school at all times of the day. They happened while I would be studying at home, when I was in class, several times they even happened on tests and I only received credit for what I finished of that test.
I didn't want to make a thing of it at first but I eventually did register with the school's office of disability for test taking so it is documented. However, how do I go about explaining this on an application? All else equal, how much will the GPA weight be forgiven for this alone?
