Hi,
I am considering to apply european schools like Oxford-Cambridge-LBS-Insead and Which schools do you think forgive a low gpa around 2.2 for 750+ GMAT? Can you say some schools like this or which schools in US can give at least half-scholarship for GMAT 750+ with stellar applications?

Dear gpaprob1,

Since admissions decisions are based on a holistic evaluation of your application, there is not really a trade off of GMAT and GPA for scholarship awards or schools that are more/less forgiving for low GPAs. Whether or not your low GPA holds you back will greatly depend on the strength of the rest of your application--your GMAT, essays, recommendations, resume and interview. Many applicants have overcome a low GPA because the rest of the application was top-notch, made a compelling case for admission, and demonstrated that the applicants would be academically successful.

Good luck,
Lisa

"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."
