I am a Canadian and completed elec. engineering from Univ of Toronto - GPA 2.8/4.0 . GMAT 710 (q47 76% v41 92%)

Work total 5 years: 3 yrs Regulated utility, 1.5 yrs government power agency (non profit) - developed energy efficiency programs for the industrial sector. I currently work at a regulated electricity distributor helping largest 30 consumers ($30M) to cut their energy costs.

Post MBA: work in energy related industries or management consulting related to energy.
Weak: Low GPA and weak community experience

I'd like an idea of the top schools (US and England) where I may have a good chance of getting in.


thanks..

Well, with a 710, you have certainly done your best to make up for your GPA, so that's great. when you approach your applications I would suggest directly addressing the issue of your low GPA, for whatever reasons you can give.

Which Top schools can you get into? Well, I would start off looking at top schools with strong energy programs/links. The first that come to mind are Haas and Austin.

Other Top schools I could suggest for you are Ross, Darden, Tepper, Georgia Tech.

Just so you know these suggestions are relatively rough, because I don't yet have a clear picture of your work experience, what you actually do, how many people you lead, how many promotions you got etc, so it's a weeeeee bit hard for me to give you a precise avaluation without a bit more info.

But anyhow, with a 710, you certainly put yourself in range for Top schools.
