MBA Application Review - 2.9 UG GPA
I will be very grateful for ANY advice on what I can do to have a shot at a T15 school in the US, or a top 5 business school in Europe.

Canadian MBA GPA calculation: Policy on retaken courses
I'm a student about to enter her third year of undergrad in a genetics program.

As such, I failed a...
