My quesiton is: What if I increased my GPA to 2.9 by app time, and re-did my GMAT to 700-710 range. How would my chances improve?
Thank you for all of the help everyone
Sadly, somehow my fresh GPA was worse than yours.
OH LAWDY DRUGS
Haha yeah.
It was a mix of messing about, chasing ladies, hitting the nose candy too much, and just not giving a fudge.
But I got my act together. Have been on the dean's/chancellor's list all of last year.
Please, anyone with insight on my chances give me an honest opinion.
What do you want to do and where do you want to live post msf?
Ideally, IBD. Realistically, CF.
Where? Anywhere in the country. I have nothing tying me down here.
I'd say your chances at a tier 1 MSF are slim to none. If you can get your GMAT over the 700 hurdle, maybe an adcom will take a chance on you. Are you a minority? If you are, it might help.
You might have to reach for Tier 2, and have realistic shots at Tier 3 programs.
If I were you, I'd go to a tier 2 program, kill it, network like a hawk, take a CF job at an F500, work 3-5 years, re-do the GMAT, and apply to a top 50 MBA (if your MSF GPA is 3.5+), and then maybe land an associate gig at an MM/Boutique for IBD.
Yeah, it's a long road, but if you really want to do IBD, it might just work.
Thanks weinstein.
Anyone else?
UIUC only takes into account your junior and senior year GPA, so that helps you out. Some other schools might do that as well but I've never looked into it.
What the fuck, 1.5? What is that, muchacho?
How did you not get kicked out of school with a 1.5 your freshman year?
