Dear mbaman11,

You appear to have the foundation for a competitive application to any program. It is how well you put your application together that will result in an offer of admission. It is not enough to have a good GMAT/GPA and an impressive resume. You must also have concrete examples in your essays and present a strong rationale for why you need a MBA for your desired career path. Finally, I encourage everyone to apply to at least 1 safety school so you might want to add a school in the top 20-40 range as your back up plan.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa.

How is a Cornell engineering undergrad viewed? I'm concerned that my deflated GPA will hurt my chances. Most of my classes were curved in the B, B-, C range.

Does my GMAT score (slight below H/S/W avg) and post-college coursework (pretty good considering they were eng. quant courses) mitigate this issue effectively enough?

Any view on this?

I think your GMAT score and grades in your subsequent courses do help to mitigate your undergraduate GPA. There will be variance from schools on whether it is enough or not, but I think you demonstrate you can handle the coursework in business school. Likewise, you have an engineering degree from a selective school, so that will work to your favor.

Regards,
Lisa
