Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi,

Could you please evaluate my profile? My dream school is MIT Sloan, but I suffer from low GPA.

Here below some results :
GMAT : 690 (q 80%, v 88%)
GRE : quants 750-800 (above 90%) ; verbal 580-610 (above 80%)
GPA : 2.73 / 4.00 (ranked 60th among 270 graduates)
WE : 6+ (2 years engineering, 4+ years product&pricing)

I am a mechanical engineering graduate from the best engineering school in my country. (PS : I am woman )
I ranked within the 0,2% in nationwide university entrance exam (ranked 2700 / 1.500.000)
I graduated ranking first from my high school (with maths&science major)


Professional background :
Started working as a body design engineer in a major automotive company R&D deparment for 2 years. Was responsible for design changes on seats&restraints, and interior trim.

Changed jobs to another automotive company, but this time started working in Product&Pricing in marketing department.

• Promoted 2 times, in 4 years.
  In 4 years, succesfully launched more than 10 new models (increased model share of all models.)
  Currently manage a product portfolio of 36 models and 20 dealers
  Currently, manage a team of 1 (due to economic crisis...)
  Even though I had no experience in marketing, I ran a web site project for the company (2009), earned the most prestigious Web Site Design Award in my country. Increased number of users by 900%, increased average time on site more than 300%

(I have other accomplishments but this had the most awards and striking results.)

Academic background and reasons for my low GPA :

• I plan to take full responsbility for my low GPA, but even though it is still very very low compared to other applications, I also would like to stress that with that low GPA, I ranked 60th among 270 graduates, nearly within the 80%. Only around 30 people were above 3.0 GPA in my class, which is a general attitute of my professors and my department.
  
  For the first two years, I worked as a voluntery lecturer in a foundation to tutor children in rural areas in my country.
  
  I was also a member of Robotics Society and participated in 1st annual Sumo Robo Competition and build a Sumo robot with my team mates.
  
  My graduation thesis was a haptical hand device design and production, for which my team received an AA due to out-of-the box design.
  
  Extracurricular activites :
  • I play the piano since I was seven. I play a variety of music from Mozart to Metallica from Yann Tiersen to Muse on the piano. I gave several concerts in my town when I was at secondary and high school as an emerging artist. From university and on, I play for my own (no concerts).

  Vow, now that I read it again that's been too long...
  
  Thanks in advance to anyone, who spends time to read my profile...
