Is there any hope for me?

[Skippy13]

Hi something is worrying me about my undergraduate education. I cant estimate my GPA as I studied in the UK, but I think it would be right at the lower end of the scale. The most worrying thing is that there is a downward trend in my results ( I suffered with anxiety and depression for two of the the three years).

Since university im a different person and havent had any of the problems which plagued me. I scored 720 on the GMAT and have international work experience, I have also set up my own company with partners in Singapore and Norway. I can also provide excellent letter of recommendation.

How damaging will this downward trend be to my application? Would developing an alternative transcript help?

My target schools are ASU, Eller, USC, USD, Rice, U of T @ Austin and thunderbird.

Do I have a chance at all?

Thanks for any advice you can give

An alternative transcript may be helpful especially if you received bad grades in quant related courses. You should also take the opportunity to explain why your grades trended downward. You can explain in your optional essays and during the interview if the topic comes up. Your GMAT score and professional development are impressive. You did not mention what your actual GPA is however you should have a chance if you put together a strong application package.
