Profile Evaluation

by freshnoodles » Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:25 pm
Hi All,

Just want to thank you all in advance for evaluating my profile - looking forward to hearing anyone's and everyone's perspective.

- 25-29 year old male in Toronto
- BComm. with finance specialization from a non-target Ontario university; crappy GPA because I didn't take school seriously (I know I'm an idiot for doing that); CGPA is 2.19, last 2 years is 2.26, and final year is 2.64
- Worked my butt off for the next 5 years of my life; accumulating work experience as described in the next bullet
- 5 years total work experience; including 3 years as an investment banking analyst at a Toronto boutique shop and 2 years working in the corporate strategy group at a large north american real estate private equity firm
- Have not attempted the GMAT yet, but would be open to suggestions on how high I need to score based on my crappy GPA and work experience

Looking to apply to Ivey, Schulich, Rotman, Queen's...

Happy to provide more info if needed! Thanks again!

Hmm, you want a simple just super-frustrating answer? You need to own the GMAT. A 2.19 is...really, really low. And you want to know something else annoying? A great GMAT in your case isn't enough. You need an alternative transcript. We have a series of videos on this and you can find them here > Common MBA Questions. You should start there.

Good luck!

Yup. And if you have a really good reason for your GPA it'll help a lot too.
