[src_saurav]

Hi,

I had a low GPA in engineering graduation from a reputed institution. In order to try and offset that , i have completed a lot of industrial certificates that are well recognized in the industry. How to manage this in the application process. I am studying hard for the GMAT and hope that i get a good score.

Please tell me your opinion.

if there are any mitigating circumstances that help explain the under performing GPA, you can use the optional essay to explain, as well as why you chose to pursue the certificate courses and so forth. cheers, alex
