In Reply To: I would like to find out if anyone who had a low undergrad gpa has been admitted to a top b-school. I have heard that all is not lost with a low gpa; that schools will consider a very high gmat and work experience as well. However, I wonder if this is realistic, considering the competition among those with top scores, work exp., and near-perfect gpa's. Any personal experience with this?
Message: I had a 3.2 / 4.0 at an elite, Northeastern, liberal arts college, and was accepted into a program that admits a little over 10% of its applicant pool. Essays and work experience count!
