Pursue an MBA?

- 29 year old BCom graduate with finance specialization from Ontario non-target
- Sh!t GPA; CGPA is 2.19, last 2 years is 2.26, and final year is 2.64
- Worked my butt off for the next 6 years of my life; accumulating work experience as described in the next bullet
- 6 years total work experience; including 3 years as an investment banking analyst at a boutique shop + 3 years working in corporate strategy/M&A group at REPE firm
- Targeting a GMAT of mid to high 600s (maybe break 700)

Looking to apply to Ivey, Rotman, or Queen's

What are my chances given my profile?

 

With your work experience, I dont think you will have a problem getting into any of those schools with an above average GMAT... I wouldnt be surprised if you get some offers even with an average score (650-670).

If you have worked towards any other education since undergrad (CFA etc.), that would also help justify/balance out the gpa in your application.

(fyi, I have a MBA from one of the schools you mentioned)
