Sir,

I am Electrical Engineering student who has just graduated from NIT Surathkal ( tier 2 Indian college). I have worked with an Investment bank for 2 years and now wish to apply for MS in Finance. My GMAT score was 720.

My only dilemma is that I was having mental depression during my first year of UG which resulted in getting 6 arrears( F in my grade sheet). This wasn't a fault of my own rather due to my health condition. I was treated by my dad who happened to be a doctor as well. My school too got to know of it, however they maintain a strict grading policy which resulted in me getting a GPA of 7.02/10,( my math grade is particularly bad C & D). but my class rank is around 16 in a class of 39 students.The topper of my batch had a GPA of 8.76.( only 7 students got distinction)

I willing to counter these effects but I am unaware of the strategies for the same?

What would help me reach top 10 or 15 schools if i were to target for the same.

Really wanted your help on this matter......

Hello james1990,

Thank you for your post!

You should have the opportunity to explain your unfortunate circumstances in an optional essay. Schools will usually provide some space for "additional information" or have "optional" essays to explain extenuating circumstances. You will want to clearly and simply explain that your undergraduate GPA is not an accurate reflection of your abilities. You can then highlight evidence of your academic and quantitative abilities, e.g. your GMAT score, related job responsibilities, other successful quantitative coursework. You may briefly mention going through a period of depression a long time ago, but assure the adcom that you have been on an uphill course since.

If you would like to discuss your candidacy and options further, please contact us directly: https://www.clearadmit.com/services/free-consultation/
