Hi Allen02215,

Thanks for your post. A low overall GPA may raise a red flag for an admissions committee, but there are ways to address this. As an example, by taking a few classes now, you can help to offset some of their concerns. While straight A's in post-undergraduate courses will not erase your original transcript, you can demonstrate that you have the ability to excel academically, that you have identified a weakness and are making an effort to rectify it, that you are committed to learning, and that you can balance multiple commitments successfully. All of this can help mitigate the damage done by poor undergraduate performance. In addition, part of their concern is not linked to your academic abilities, but to your commitment to academics, your drive and your ability to handle a full schedule.

We also have here a case study of a candidate with a low GPA who was accepted into a top MBA program: https://www.stacyblackman.com/client-stories/

Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
