Extremelly low GPA

Hi all,

I am 25 y/o, from eastern europe. got undergraduate degree in finance with GPA 2,0.

Recently took GMAT and scored 740

Worked 1.5 years in Johnson & Johnson as a junior product manager, then moved to Procter & Gamble and have been working here for 2 years as Financial Analyst.

What are my chances for M7? Is there anything i can do to improve my application for those schools or it's not going to happen? I am interested only in M7 and Insead, otherwise i would prefer going without MBA.

thanks for reply!

Hi John,

What caused the 2.0? There's quite a disconnect between your GPA and your GMAT and career progression.

Was there any trend to your grades?

Are you currently in the U.S. or in Europe?

Would you consider taking classes now to show that you now know how to perform academically?

hello Linda, Thanks for reply! There were some health issues, and on top of that i wasn't really motivated to study hard back then. 1st year my GPA was 3.1 and for the rest of 3 years it was falling down at constant rate. I am currently in EU

Sure, i am willing to! Can you please help me which courses should i take? Or how about i get a bachelor degree from Open University as a distance learning program and receive a very high GPA there, will it work out? Or it's waste of the time
