GPA-an imprint of your future
Monkeys need your advice:
Is it possible to get to NYU Stern or other prestigious MBA with a low GPA, let's say 2.6 - 3.0 range
I have a decent accounting background working for 2 Fortune 50 FMCG companies
Cheers:)
That's going to hurt. Stern competes with CBS in NYC and CBS is known to be a bit of a numbers whore, forcing Stern to do the same thing so they both have 80% ranges that look great on paper. You will need a killer GMAT and ideally some A's/A+s in classes you took after graduation at local college/university, especially if your poor grades are in quantitative or financial areas.
yes just take post-college classes in target mba fields (acct, fin, mktg, stat) targeting where your weak GPA is focused. Ace those classes and the schools won't care insofar as you have a strong gmat (700+), good work progression and extra currics, and of course the most important factor, the marketing strategy you use in placing yourself against the thousands others you're competing against.
I had a 3.2 from penn and went to kellogg
According to your profile: Wharton ugrad (Fisher M&T)
A 3.2 from Wharton, especially Fisher M&T, where for those who reading are unaware you receive a B.S.E. from SEAS (School of Engineering & Applied Science) and B.S. from Wharton is hardly a "horrible/bad" GPA by any means.
This is true. I'd add a few things:
2.6 - 3.0 is actually a huge range, it's hard to handicap a range that large - take a look at GPA standard deviations from your school if you don't believe me
In addition to the GMAT and graduate coursework, there are a few other things that can help augment your GPA such as: certifications (CFA, CPA, etc), and maybe most importantly, time. If you're 30 years old, your grades are literally 12-8 years old and increasingly irrelevant to the admissions department - a strong GMAT will show that you're likely intellectually curious and definitely sharp.
Good luck.
pen state or wharton?
Thank you guys:)) There is other option I thought about, maybe get a cheap European MSF and then get a Stern or I'VY MBA'S after that :))
