Difficult Situation: need assistance

by fortunato » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:18 am
I am looking at top MBA schools. However, I have some issues, my profile:
Villanova(1st&2nd)-3.23
Boston College(3rd&4th)-2.70
Combined UG: 2.95
MS Construction from NYU-4.0
MS Historic Preservation from Columbia-3.8

GRE: 750
GMAT: 720

Started my own real estate investment and construction company, Assets Under Management of $10MM plus. Worked multiple jobs in real estate- had 8 different real estate internships during my Masters Time. Worked overseas in China for a large real estate development company for 2 years. Currently, I am 29.

Additional:
MENSA(top 2%)
Top IQ Society(top 1%)
LEED AP
ULI Young Leaders

I screwed up undergrad because I really didn't know what I was doing. Until now, I am looking at Columbia, Harvard, UPenn. NYU would be my safety.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

The longer you are out of school, the less your GPA matters in comparison with what you have done with your time. In your case, since you have accomplished quite a bit in the time since undergrad, and especially given that you have post-graduate degrees, you should not need to explain your undergrad GPA. Hope this helps. PS also your GMAT will eliminate any concerns the committee has pertaining to your academic abilities, which is all they are looking for with GPA and GMAT numbers anyway.
