- GPA: 2.8, major: Computer Science, School: Cairo University ( top reputable university in Egypt)
- GMAT: 710

- resume highlights, including company name, job titles and promotions:

Work experience: 8+ years of experience, 5 after graduation, 3+ during school ( full time job)

Function: sales, particularly Telesales, all my experience was in Call centers(outsourced telesales campaigns from US UK and AU to egypt, so the call centers I worked in are in EGYPT but the companies
represted were multinational like Verizon yellowpages, superpages and so).

Industry/Products: Internet Advertising/ Online Yellowpages, Search Engine Marketing services.

Promotions: Sales rep (1+ years), Sales Supervisor ( 2 years) Sr. Sales supervisor (1 yr)
Sales Operations Manager (4 years)

- extracurricular involvements: The only experience I can mention here was literacy education to the illiterate in country sides of Egypt. Not too much time log into this though, less than a year time.

- interesting personal facts - countries lived in, challenges faced, unusual interests

So many unusual events that I can talk about since I live in Egypt with everything that has been happening in the past few years, but the main challenge faced and personal story I might bring up is the fact that I had to work throughout college to pay for my tuition and to save for big part of my mba schools tuition, that explains the low gpa. I have achived a within the top 30 ranking in my grades on my first year but I couldnt juggle school and work any faster when courses got more hardcore in the following years. I will be taking courses in finance, accounting, and sales and marketing from an accredited institution in egypt to make up for the low gpa though.

Lived in Cairo, Egypt and Dubai, UAE

Is it a very long shot for any of Kellog, Tuck, Fuqua, goizueta, booth? if so is it something I can work on if i put admission off for a year? if wont make a difference what is my best next options(schools) with respect to my profile?
