Hello Shiny, Thank you for your post! First, in regards to applying for an MBA, your 71.9% GPA will be considered strong, unlike a 2.2 GPA. You’ll likely not even need to convert it to the 4.0 scale (be sure to check the applications though:-)), so you can instead consider the strength of this if ...

Hi nataras, I do not recommend taking the GMAT or GRE again; given that you've already taken the GMAT four times, the adcoms will not put much credence in a high score at this point. Many schools report GMAT stats for incoming classes in terms of total scores, so you technically fall within range of...
