timOthy -

Thanks very much for your questions, and I am sorry for the delayed response.

I think you definitely need to give the Berkeley part-time program a shot. Yes, your GPA is lower than average, but it sounds like you had extenuating circumstances. I would explain why your grades were low but also show how you have worked on courses via community colleges and made all As or A+s.

Be very clear about your reasons for pursuing this part-time program. How will it help you in your day-to-day job? What from your professional and personal experiences will you be able to contribute? What are your long-term goals? I feel that if you can round out your story a bit and shift the focus from the low GPA to your long-term potential, you should be in good shape.

Best of luck,
Jennifer

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
