Hi,

I am interested in pursuing an MBA at UCLA anderson. The path I want to choose is entrepreneurship which I believe is quite popular.

My GMAT Score= 680
GPA= 3.2 (approx. as grade ranked in percentage)
Degree= Electrical Engineering BS
Experience more than 2 years

I want to ask am I too late for Round 2 as i have just started writing essays. I plan to apply by end December. Please advise if my profile suites UCLA. Also one important thing to mention is that I am going for a complete career switch.

Thanks

Hello,

UCLA is a great program for entrepreneurship! From the information you've provided, I'd consider you to be a viable applicant. The GPA is a bit low, but your GMAT is strong and EE is rigorous. Many applicants are career switchers; that presents extra challenges but it's not a problem per se. You have to address it effectively in the application essays. Even now, it's not too late.

Best regards,
